Life is only life forevermore

All,

Off on adventures of the marital and ice kind. Be back in three weeks with lots to tell and pictures to share. Until then Robert Frost's poem "Master Speed."

No speed of wind or water rushing by
But you have speed far greater. You can climb
Back up a stream of radiance to the sky,
And back through history up the stream of time.
And you were given this swiftness, not for haste
Nor chiefly that you may go where you will,
But in the rush of everything to waste,
That you may have the power of standing still-
Off any still or moving thing you say.
Two such as you with such a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar

With a Cherry on Top...

The June Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart... er... pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800's in England. The tart is complete with homemade jam, David Lebovitz style with a bit of contrieu of course.

I haven't had much time to write up a proper post or even edit the pictures, but hope the following are worth a thousand words (as in the empty plate at the bottom means it was delicious). The tart is dedicated (can you dedicate a tart?) to Lorna who is an almond and cherry addict and who has been so helpful, kind, supportive and amazing. So lets rename the Bakewell tart to the Lorna's-swell tart!

(thats Lorna sewing away!)
