Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

We are at the stage of autumn where I am buying Too Many Apples, because I'm still excited and grabbing varieties that may not be there next week, even while Andy points out that we have apples at home, two different kinds. Today I got Zestars; what we already had was a few Elstar and one Ashmead's kernel. I grabbed and paid for the Zestar apples at the first stall that had them, before we got to the stall with the most kinds of apple: I counted, and they had 14 varieties, but not Zestar. That 14 included other apple varieties I like, and may buy some of next week or the week after. (OK, 14 and a half, counting crab apples as the half.)

That was at Central Square Cambridge, where we also bought plums, grapes, a lettuce, a few of the little Diva cucumbers, and some tomatoes, plus a tuna steak and a loaf of bread (Hi-Rise Bakery's extremely crust Luce).
