Not much going through my mind this evening.

I’m thinking that tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day, because there is nothing on the schedule. Nothing. Makes me smile to type that word. I think I’ll bake some cheesecakes.

Another thing that makes me smile is the weather around here lately. It is mid-August here in Central Illinois, and it barely got to 80 degrees here today. What’s up with that??? The weather forecast (which is completely unreliable, by the way) indicates mild weather for the rest of the week. Where are the hot, sweltering, “dog days” of summer? Wherever they are, they can stay there. I love these cool days!

And do you want to know the best part of it all? Sweet corn is in season. It is incredibly delicious, and yesterday I learned that it can be cooked in the microwave. Oh, and the other thing I learned yesterday is that sweet corn is crisp, delicious and even sweeter if you eat it without cooking it first.

Drop me a note in the comments and let me know what makes you smile.
