Single Malts - and other odd Musings

Last Night's Supper - when I was growing up pre-WWII and during the war most people called the evening meal 'supper' with 'dinner' being the noon-day meal


 A frozen pizza from the grocery store at the edge of town dressed up with olives, left over vegetables, tomatoes, shredded cheese and a green marinade - quite reasonable in taste (though I will skip the marinade next time and use a tomato sauce of some type and also add mushrooms and onions).

Misty Morning - V - the semi-boundary trail comes to the fork and brings thoughts of Mr. Frost


 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

 

Misty Morning On Our Lane - Sometimes I wish that I could stay the pain



 Misty morning on our lane
Sometimes I wish that I could stay the pain
I know it made it hard to see this through
I got this feeling I will be missing you
Misty morning on our lane

In The Land of The Paw-Paw Tree




With leaves and branches that deer avoid, and fruit that is loved by all, the pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is a fascinating native tree. It’s the only local member of a large, mainly-tropical plant family (Annonaceae), and produces the largest edible fruit native to North America. Despite being a small, understory tree, unlikely to ever grow into the forest canopy, pawpaw is the most frequently observed sapling in forest monitoring plots
