Babies are called pumpkins here. In the South we call babies cutie pies, dolls, little monkeys, sweat peas, tree frogs, butternuts, lulus etc., etc. So far, since moving to Maine, Raindrop has always been called a pumpkin. :)
90 degrees qualifies as a "heat wave." When most homes don't have air conditioners, 90 can feel pretty hot. On the flip side, 50 can feel quite chilly to this Southern girl when I wake up in the morning with all that fresh air wafting in my window.
Raw milk is no big thing here. Coming from a state where it's illegal to sell or purchase raw milk for human consumption, I was shocked to see you can just walk in and buy yourself some raw milk from any old grocery store.
There are three Farmers' Markets a week within 2 miles or so from where we live. I could spend some serious money buying local yumminess. That's why I have to go with only a little bit of cash on hand.
Can ice cream be considered a health food? Just wondering because there is one ice cream stand or another every where we go...
The sun rises at 4:45-5:00 right now. By 5:15 full-on day is coming in our windows. This is something we've been working on adjusting to (read buying lots of curtain rods and covering up the beautiful windows.)
well...butternuts and pumpkins are kind of similar. we hear pudin' a lot here too. hope the ice cream is still around in the fall!
