Rainbow Snippets*–August Edition

Halfway through August? How did that happen? I don't have kids at home anymore, so it caught me by surprise when the first day of school rolled around. To be fair, they start earlier than they used to. Of course, the school year ends earlier than it used to. I'm not sure I understand why that all shifted, but everything changes. It's life! It also means I'm halfway through our Farmers Market season, and things have slowed down. I'll have to look for a new job soon, but it's been nice, having the summer off. And by off, I mean not having to dress and fix my hair, leave the house, come home, and spend the afternoon baking. Now, it's ratty shorts and barefoot while I bake. (I hate shoes.)

Soft iced sugar cookies–my number one seller at the Farmers Market.

From Embers and Flame; Cherry (Charles) and Ben meet at a campground and spend the week together. But all vacations end, and it's time to head home–one going west and the other heading south. Cherry has gone for coffee, and is musing on the week as he walks back to their camping spots: 

It was a beautiful morning and I scolded myself for the melancholy flooding through me. I had to file this week away as an adventure, a time spent with a hot guy, a story I could tell my fellow nurses. Tony and Brenda were always bragging about the men they met on their wild weekends, and now I had a story of my own.

My attempted cool composure nearly miscarried when I passed the last stand of trees and spied Ben as he sat balanced on the picnic table with one leg on the ground and the other bent at the knee, his long toes curling over the edge of the bench. God, even his feet were sexy.
