Luckett's Farmer's Market

A couple of weekends ago Alexander and I went antique hunting in Lucketts, Virginia. We found some delicious kettle corn and cute farmer's markets along the way. Autumn is my favorite season, and this was a fun adventure!

Home Made Weeknight

When we first moved into our apartment we had a very limited pantry. Thus we had many simple meals, lots of soups and lots of tacos! One of my college roommates (and now my creative partner) taught me how to make the best tacos the way she makes them in California. The pumpkin soup is some we got at World Market and then we topped it with home made sourdough croutons.

As Kingfishers Catch Fire

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;

As tumbled over rim in roundy wells

Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's

Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;

Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:

Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;

Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,

Crying Whát I dó is me: for that I came.

I say móre: the just man justices;

Keeps grace: thát keeps all his goings graces;

Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is —

Chríst — for Christ plays in ten thousand places,

Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his

To the Father through the features of men's faces.

 

--Gerard Manley Hopkins
