It was a brooding, gray backdrop kind of day...
Where yon billow broods and breaks,
Where the shower spills its lakes...

Where the flower-bower-toast
Thrills us to the uttermost

Where the planted furrow brims
With fruition’s harvest hymns...

The neighbor's were able to salvage the last of the straw just before today's soaker!!)
Where dust, threshed from wheat and rye
Wafts between the earth and sky...

Where cricket-minstrels repeat
Repertoires of tweet-tweet-tweet...
Where garden has Cook beguiled
With dinner-buffets, run wild...

Last night's supper bottom right corner...grilled zucchini-rounds
topped with browned ground beef-green pepper-red onion medley
Where yon billow broods and breaks,
Where the shower spills its lakes
Where the flower-bower's toast
Thrills us to the uttermost
Where the planted furrow brims
With fruition’s harvest hymns
Where the hand of God anoints
Earth in exclamation points
Where wonder and worship meet
In climaxes, simple-sweet
Where delight and sadness spar
Where hello and farewell are
Where we revel in the bliss
Of the afternoon that is
While the gate to twilight’s star
Waits to swing softly ajar
Where dust, threshed from wheat and rye
Wafts between the earth and sky
Where cricket-minstrels repeat
Repertoires of tweet-tweet-tweet
Where garden has Cook beguiled
With dinner-buffets, run wild
Where bravado cannot stay
What no wish can keep at bay
Where hollyhock bistros buzz
With busy bee biz, because
Where each honeyed moment drips
A sparkle of August slips
From lips, fingertips, and sighs
Where before our very eyes
Heaven lends to earth a hint
Of what waits beyond Time’s stint
Where we cannot comprehend
Awesome August without end
Where goldenrod wicks are lit
Just for the sheer joy of it
Where, beyond four-seasoned tide
Rolls a summer countryside
Where death never enters thought
Mum blooms with forget-me-not

Tonight's supper...

Green Bean Casserole
2 of my bean jars didn't seal from canning this year
and because I prefer canned beans for this dish, it was the perfect side!
Comfort food on a very fallish feeling evening!

(I also use milk rather than sour cream)

Zucchini Casserole
I added a bit of ham to make it a one-dish meal
(for a 9X13 pan I used 2 more eggs and added a generous tbsp. of melted butter to the olive oil)
