My Saturn Day

Wasn't yesterday lovely? It was just relaxing and beautiful. Tony was lucky. He had checked off my honey-do list on Friday. Plum tree planted. Yard edged (way better than I do it, but with less clean-up at the end. Maybe he's counting on rain?)

So we went to foodie Saturday at Cosmos, where I got some {rice} gelato. Yummier than rice pudding.


I bought some glass dessert plates for all of the pies I've been making.


This was the pear and dried fruit pie. I think I could have done without the dried fruit, but liked the ginger-pear. What is a good, non-alcoholic substitute for rum? ...in pie. I made the pumpkin pies for the kids. ...and that was the end of the shortening.



While restocking our shortening at Costco, I bought some frivolous sedums...and followed some signs to a garage sale (that's how nice it was outside!) where I found something I had been looking for...


...a kitschy deer! Yes, I know. That's a weird thing to have on your shopping list, but I was honestly considering buying one on ebay.


I promptly painted it pink. The details will be added later.
