Peaches around here will likely be few and far between, thanks to an freak late frost that occurred this spring just as buds were forming.
After days of rain followed by flooding, farmers near the Connecticut river a few towns over from us now have fields full of not only crops, but river water, as do others in Vermont. Their entire plantings for the season gone, and fields possibly contaminated for next year. I imagine local corn prices are going to jump.
Drought, wildfires, heat waves and warehouses in Ukraine that can’t make it to market.
I looked at today’s batch of cookies and wondered if a few years in the future it will be considered wanton extravagance to be using oatmeal for such a purpose.
The floods and droughts are nature's work but I am thoroughly disgusted with Putin. Who the heck does he think he is??
ReplyDeleteScary times. The world over. How I hope that oatmeal cookies are never seen as an extravagance.
ReplyDeleteYum. Oatmeal cookies. Freshly baked too. I used to get them form the school cafeteria. They were big and quite wonderful.
ReplyDeletenever mind, there is no future, enjoy the oatmeal cookies and peaches while ye may.
