Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates. Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that. He did not eat mayonnaise. He did not eat tomato sauce. He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans. He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise. He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway.

September is Nation Fog Month around here. Out three rivers are warm and the night air cool. It can completely obliterate the river valleys. Very beautiful I think, but then again I like rainy days.

ReplyDeleteAh, those morning temperature differentials!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite poems. We live in a fog friendly place.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of the fog.

ReplyDeleteLove the image of "little cat feet." Also love fog. It softens the world.
ReplyDeleteLike the poem and the photo is breathtaking, so different from here! Looks very eerie.
ReplyDeleteNo fog for us in southern california until the 'dead of winter.' ;)
ReplyDeleteBUT...I love a foggy day at the beach almost as much as a sunny one. The sound of a fog horn lulls me. :)
