I still like soup, even when the weather warms up. Here's the current one. Powerhouse Green Soup. Dandelion greens carrot greens, and pinto beans, cream of. With fresh thyme garnish.
So I checked it out and it turns out there's a weird parallel. Evidently the idea of an extra part applies to garnishment. It's one of the few laws going way back in time where the subject had to be formally informed, with a document, ahead of time, before the swiping could happen.
So the garnish was in fact the piece of paper, not the taking of wages, though over time it's been applied to the taking. But the fancy extra, the sprig of thyme, was the paper. So now we know.
Wonderful day, warm enough to sit outside and knit while listening to Mansfield park with an earbud. And for looking up and finding the neighbor has been talking to me a while, unaware that I was unaware.
Views from the lawn chair Just lovely. And as long as I remember my mask, a minimum of sneezing.
I'm told several more days of this are expected.
Such a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoors. We take in nature every chance we get.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day to lounge about on your deck!
ReplyDeleteIt's been ridiculously beautiful here lately although it is windier today and there are some clouds. And having just checked the weather widget, I see that in a week it's supposed to get up to 99. Well, there goes that.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even used to leaving my coat off yet.
DeleteI guess masks are proving to be useful on more than one front. Nice surroundings you have to sit and knit or just simply sit.
ReplyDeleteA great discovery for me. Masks are here to stay for me.
Deletecream of pinto beans. that's a new one. a lovely deck and lovely views. as for the masks, people are finding they didn't get their regular winter colds and flus. It will be interesting to see if they become a staple.
ReplyDeleteCream soup, ordinary pinto beans added to the greens.
DeleteYes, I wonder I didn't mask up years ago!
You have a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy it. I love watching fluffy clouds roll by!
ReplyDeleteWe are forecast beautiful weather through the week and rain on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a bit of rain for my plants. I don't see any forecast though.
DeleteChuckling at the picture of you and the neighbor. :) We're supposed to get a heat wave this week (same one as Ms. Moon, I suspect) then back to some perfect weather again. I'm loving the cool days and chilly nights we've been having.
ReplyDeleteI expect he thinks I'm a bit deaf. I suspect he wouldn't expect me to be using earbuds. I run into this unconscious ageism with younger people!
