Hope

A few days ago I noticed that the tree across the end of the street had been cut down. It was lying in large 10 foot pieces of trunk beside the road.

About a month into the pandemic last year, the people who lived there hung a small hand-painted sign with the word "HOPE" in pale rainbow colors on a white background.

It'd been there for about 9 months.

I'm not sure how I feel about that tree being cut down. I wonder if the utility company took the sign off first, if they returned the hope to the people who shared it.

Bacon

Mom was watching a cooking show when I passed by, well, a cooking competition show. The contestants were adults and it looked like they had paper cones propped in stands to keep them upright filled with bacon strips.

"Their bacon looks good," I commented, meaning it was uniformly dark brown how I like it. It looked like it would snap to the touch, also how I like it.

"It's carrot bacon," Mom said.

I considered her statement for a moment quizzically. 

"You mean it's not bacon at all?"

"Right."

"Hmm. I like carrots too much as they are to screw them up." Didn't seem like a promising ingredient to me. I would try it but without much in the way of positive expectations. I won't be going out of my way to procure it.
