The black squirrels were always trying to run her off so I guess she moved on.

We used to have a small independent grocery store over on Bath Road that would get local produce in all the time, in season. It was great. It didn't stay in business for that long, unfortunately. <br /><br />Okay, maybe when it's cooler I'll have to try my hand at a platz too. Can the recipe be halved easily? Most of the folks at work eat pretty healthy and avoid a lot of sweets (with a couple of exceptions and I don't mean me), so I wouldn't want to make a whole pan of it. I eat as much as I have on hand, sadly. :-p<br /><br />This heat is about doing me in. One day I'll get a window air conditioner for the downstairs. Can't put one in my bedroom because it's a crank window. I don't think our bylaws allow us to have one sticking out our street-facing windows anyway, but I could get away with it on the lower level because no one would see it (with the fence). Remind me to ask Chuck if they're easy to put in and how I'd do it. :-)<br /><br />This list of questions is getting longer and longer.....<br /><br />Have a good evening!<br />Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113656230511810359.post-48057130889875518882015-08-17T17:48:42.128-04:002015-08-17T17:48:42.128-04:00I never have made a blueberry platz!
