What have I been up to for the past week now that I don’t have to blog anymore? Sleep. I’m trying to keep diurnal hours now, and regular sleep has added a modicum of sanity to my daily, uh, day. Also, I’ve been doing other sensational mother stuff that would be too fabulous to blog about, ‘cuz everybody would get so jealous. Well, if you must know…
I cleaned out one of my cupboards. I really love spending a couple hours on a job only to find it looks pretty much the same as it did to begin with. Can you tell which is before and which is after?
I helped you cheat by putting them in order. You will just have to trust me that it is now more organized and clean. But it was all worthwhile because in the far recesses of an upper shelf rested a yam, not from a few weeks ago but from a year and a few weeks ago! And it wasn’t moldy, no, it was full of life! Beautifully alive! Here on the freshly scrubbed shelf, I captured its elegance:
Then I tossed it.
I always noticed that your posts were from the wee small hours. Glad to hear that you’re finally sleeping. Your cabinet looks good with the cans and jars lined up like little soldiers.
Oh that yam is almost too pretty to throw out. Good thing you caught it before it got really yucky.
I should blog my super unorganized pantry and actually clean it…. that might scare my two readers away.

There’s an old saying…A yam in the hand is worth two in the back of the cupboard. Good find.

that yam photo is beautiful and crazy.
Why would you throw away a work of art like that! And to think you made it yourself! (It looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book doesn’t it?) I have been avoiding some works of art in the fridge this past week but I think tomorrow is the day. I promise I won’t photograph them for you. I don’t think they will be as beautiful as your yam.
The cupboard looks beautiful too!
What a lovely yam! I grew a yam once, by putting one end in a bottle of water. It grew to be a lovely, cascading plant. You should have called me before you threw it out, but alas it is too late now. However, I especially like the beautiful bottled peaches on the top shelf! Love, Mom
And here I thought you might be making a yam version of a bonsai potato:
