To help me to leave all my blues behind

I slept about three hours last night due to the effects of accidental coffee-poisoning, but this afternoon I made an almond torte for Mother's Day and decorated it with the chocolate ducks which [personal profile] spatch and I picked up last night from Burdick's. I had been waiting months to show them to my mother. She loved them.



Thanks to collecting a 1969 paperback of Sherwood Anderson's Poor White (1920) from one of the little free libraries near my parents' house out of sheer curiosity, I realized that I had never encountered his work on page or screen and instead had him mentally composited from Maxwell Anderson and Robert E. Sherwood.

The coyote that trotted across my path as I walked the neighborhood after dinner was unexpected.

That is a wonderful torte.

We get coyotes in my neighborhood sometimes.
