A Jackson

What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street?

Money. That’s the most exciting thing I’ve ever found in the street. I don’t think I ever found more than $20, but one time a twenty-dollar bill floated right in front of me in the ocean. It glided by on a gentle wave. Turns out that a wet twenty needs to dry out in the sun, but then it works just like a regular twenty. 😉

Quick update on the fruit trees—the fruit picking tool arrived! And there’s plenty of fruit left out there. The squirrels are still MIA.

My second Winesap apple pie of the year just came out of the oven. I’m using the recipe on a ceramic pie plate that I’ve had for at least twenty years. I believe my mother got it at a “garage sale” for me.

So maybe this pie plate is a better answer to the prompt. Around here, “Garage sales” typically take place on the street in front of the home.

    1. So far, pies and applesauces with the apples and mostly just eating the Asian pears as snacks. I’m going to have to figure out some recipes for all those Bosc pears though!

  5. A twenty gliding past you on a gentle wave is a far better story than finding one on the sidewalk – and the detail that it just needs to dry in the sun is very useful information. But I think you’re right that the pie plate wins. Twenty years of Winesap pies out of something your mother picked up at a garage sale is the better find by a mile. Glad the picking tool arrived; long live the missing squirrels.
