The Rain, The Christmas Lights And Everything



"Do we not each dream of dreams? Do we not dance on the notes of lost memories? Then are we not each dreamers of tomorrow and yesterday and yesterday, since dreams play when time is askew? Are we not all adrift in the constant sea of trial and when all is done, do we not all year for ships to carry us home?

~Nathan Reese Maher


Yesterday, the first of three late autumn rainstorms moved through the Bay Area. It wasn't the worst rainstorm of the three, there is definitely bigger ones on the way, but it rained pretty consistantly all day. It was fun to see what light does with rain sometimes. With Christmas lights twinkling behind the tiny beads of water, it reminds me of the colorful little sprinkles of sugar you sometimes find on the top of sugar cookies.

Hmmm...

I think I will make a batch of sugar cookies... or maybe Snickerdoodles.

Yes, definietly Snickerdoodles.

And maybe some Spiced Apple Cider.

Yes, Spiced Apple Cider with whipped cream.

And just a dash of colored sugar sprinkled on top.

Red sugar. Or should it be green?

Hmmm.

Happiness.

Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #108: Sugary Goodness







"I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, 'what for?' And I said, 'I'm going to buy some sugar.'"

-Stephen Wright







EMPS #108: SUGARY GOODNESS! NOW CLOSED!
YUM... SUGARY GOODNESS! It's been a stressful week, and when I get the jitters... I bake! LOL. What is my favorite thing to bake? Why SUGARY GOODNESS of course! Most of the time I make the SUGARY GOODNESS with a sugar substitute, which, of course, still provides some SUGARY GOODNESS! But with less guilt! ;) If like me, you can't partake of refined sugar as often as you would like, feel free to show me your favorite SUGARY GOODNESS of the substituted kind. Splenda. Equal. Fructose. Sucrose. Cane Sugar. Brown Sugar. Honey. Raw Sugar. Liquid Sugar. Spun Sugar. Powdered Sugar... it's all good!


Extra Credit: Show me something SALTY that you enjoy as a snack!
