Today is a lovely summer day. The temperature is 71°. The sun is bright in a blue sky. A breeze is blowing the trees and branches. Best of all, the humidity is gone. Of course, it being summer on Cape Cod, the humidity will be back, but not today.

My muse has taken a vacation. I keep starting and stopping. I keep getting stuck. I even yawn a little. I’m thinking a morning nap is in order.

Prepare for stream of consciousness.

My favorite pie is lemon meringue. My friend used to make it for me instead of a birthday cake. I’ll take blueberry pie next. My mother always made Thanksgiving pies and included lemon meringue. She made apple, my father’s favorite. He added a chunk of cheddar. I prefer sweet potato pie to pumpkin and custard more than both.

I have four pairs of high tops. I have a fifth pair I stored somewhere, but it is now lost in time. That pair is pink. I like my red high tops best. I’d like a green pair next.

I don’t wear hats unless it is Arctic cold. I have one hat dating back to high school. My friend’s grandmother knitted it for me. It is pink and white. There is a funny side to hats and me. I don’t wear them, but I collect them. I have some really neat ones like an old band hat with a red plume. A fedora reminds me of my dad as he wore one to work very day when I was a kid. One of my favorites is a wide pink hat I figure some elegant woman wore in the 50’s. My train conductor’s hat is blue. I have my old brownie hat. I have a red fez and a red Chinese cap. My sister gave me her Easter hat from when she was a little girl. It has a wide brim and a blue bow. I have other hats, but I’ll save those for another day.

I love hamburgers and cheeseburgers. My favorite ice cream changes. A while back it was mint chocolate chip. Lately it has been mocha chip. My favorite topping is hot fudge, and harkening back to my youth, marshmallow goes on top of the fudge, but whipped cream is fine too.

I like brownies. I loved my mother’s brownies with chocolate frosting and jimmies. I like too many cookies to choose a favorite though chocolate chip would be close.

Wow, it seems I overcame my writing lethargy. I could go on, but I need another cup of coffee, and I want to save something for my next museless day.
