Sweet flowers...

My friend Harriette is a candy artist. When she told me this, I though, yeah right, a few flowers on a cake etc.  Then she brought in ten teapots full of these flowers.  They look like porcelain, don't they?  Well, they're not, they're sugar flowers.

I was speechless.  Next time when Harriette says something I will believe every word she says!!!  And to think she lives in little old Earlville! 

PS - I must also tell you Harriette is extremely generous with our community making donations of her creations where they're needed.  She does not sell her wares locally (not that we could afford them) - those go to the city. 

Tiptoe Through the Mustard

May - upstate New York - fields of wild mustard are in bloom. Although the farmers don't like it there, the rest of us think it's just beautiful!!! If one could only learn an efficient way to harvest those tiny tiny seeds, I'm sure wild mustard would be the high priced gourmet treat of the year.

I suggested John & Terry do a Tiny Tim imitation and "Tiptoe Through the Mustard Patch". That's the best they could do. They're getting much too conservative in their old age!!!
