It’s a Cortado Morning

It's a cortado morning
It’s a cortado morning

“Don’t just read for information, read for formation.”

It’s only 45 degrees this morning and not expected to get above 55 today. And the low tonight of 39 degrees. Today does not feel like fall but more like winter. The grey skies have no contrast in color, just a dell gray, reminding me of the winters in Ohio.

Had a friend invite me this morning to peel and core apples then bake a pie. Seems to be a day for that sort of creativity. Of course I’m assuming we will have to eat a piece to check out our work. I’ll let you know! 🙂

After I post this and leave the coffee shop, I will head  back home for some reading and writing. Me time! And, of course take time for some prayer and meditation. More me time. Right now it’s cortado time then off the make and bake a pie. 🙂

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Is there a more wonderful smell on a cold day than that of a freshly baked apple pie? I don’t think so…and than you get to eat it! 😃

    Have a good day and weekend, Monte!

    You know that quality control is essential, Monte. I’m sure your efforts were rewarded and hope you got the ice cream!

    My coffee shop vocabulary is limited so I had to look up Cortado. Seems to be an appropriate drink for the day.

      Yes, we did a pretty good job on the pies. One has already been consumed and neither of us got ill. I do enjoy the cortado as it is a smaller latte, half espresso and half steamed milk. I sometimes like to add a drop of chocolate or caramel syrup to them. Living life as best as I can.

    As you know, Monte, quality control is critical! And I hope you got the ice cream. 😉
