Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Today was the last of the bright skies and mild temperatures... autumn leaves creating colorful swirls in the road as cars pass by... sweet smells this afternoon... the fragrance of warm air and freshly cut grass... the buzz of the mowers and blowers filling the afternoon with activity... rain expected tomorrow afternoon... clouds and falling temps on the march.
Darkness arrives these days by just after 5pm... sunrise at almost 7am... another week or so and we will have entered the Persephone phase... a period when there is 10 hours or less of sunlight each day... lasting about 10 weeks... the darkest time of year.
The legend... during the dark months Persephone’s mother... the goddess of harvest... misses her daughter as she stays with her husband, Hades... god of the dead... in the underworld. She withholds her harvest from earth... three pomegranate seeds eaten by Persephone in Hades represent the three months of darkness.
Today was market day... picking up a few extras as covid spikes once again throughout the country. Virologists predicting this surge will worsen significantly during the cold months as people move indoors.
Tonite quick post shopping supper... roasted salmon filet with lemon and Olde Bay Seasoning... roasted tomatoes tossed with balsamic... leftover oven roasted potato medley... crisp green salad and a glass of vino... the hubs enjoyed coffee and a shortbread cookie to cap off the meal.
It is imperative that we all take personal responsibility for our health and safety as the pandemic ramps up again... masks at all times... limit personal interactions... carry hand sanitizer and use it when soap and water are not available... and wash those germy hands... please stay alive to celebrate thanksgiving and holidays next year 💕😷
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
