This week always sneaks up on me. this is the week that the clocks fall back and the city picks up yard waste. I’ve got to get everything cleaned up so that it can be hauled away. Most of the leaves on our two largest trees have fallen so I shouldn’t have to do a ton more cleaning for the next yard waste pick up.
while I was putting out the bags of leaves I noticed a pretty nice sunset and the sliver of moon in the distance. I was able to catch both.
I grew up during the time of some pretty amazing candy. Nerds, SweeTarts, Skittles, Rinky Rinks, Jolly Ranchers and so many more. Sadly Rinky Dinks did not survive the 80’s. At that time Skittles had lemon, strawberry, orange, grape and Lime. At some point Lime was replaced with Green Apple. The green apple flavor was everywhere and I hated it. I was not happy eating Skittles and having to pick out the green ones and throw them away because they were so heinous. Where was my beloved Lime? why was it replaced. Must have been some market research. Terrible.
I’ve always liked Lime flavor. Lime Jello was the best and I love some Key Lime Pie whenever I can get it.
