Of course, not right this second as we welcome rain. It is apparently 78 degrees with 70% humidity. And raining. I wouldn’t kick the rain out of the forecast, you know.
But it has been in the upper 90s all week. The roses are drooping, as are the berry plants. Despite watering every day.
This is something I remember from my childhood, schools out, it must be hot. And it was. Depending on where we lived at the time, I could look forward to afternoon thunderstorms (Denver, CO), or dry heat (Sonoma, CA), or humid heat (St. Charles, MO).
Today’s make is refreshing to some. Others told me not to do it because of the raisin ants that were on the celery log. I made antless ants on a log.
No ants here. No raisins here.
Just celery and peanut butter. Both creamy or crunchy.
I find it refreshing. And simple, just like all the best after-school snacks.
This is the last week of the after-school snack theme for June. And I am still undecided about what I will do for July. Last year I did Christmas in July and that was fun. The year before I did If You Want Women in the 18th Century So Badly… after the Dobbs decision.
This year?
I’ll figure something out.
