things charming me today: august 28.

– THIS.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to work “a malapertness of pedlars” into a conversation, but if I can’t — really, I need to be having better conversations.

– MY PEAR TREE.

my glorious pear tree in the backyard that supposedly has five kinds of pears but no partridges and only currently half its pears because they are heading, without haste, into my mouth and the mouths of friends.

mouths of friends seems like a really terriblific band name.

that wasn’t a typo.

– THESE.

coconut macaroons.  you only need a few, but since when do we only take what we need?  we are Americans after all.

i kid.
