every time i eat lemon meringue i think of the lemon pye reddit post

[phoebonica]

actually thinking about it more I don't think Teodora would make the lemon pye as pictured. Her baking would look good. You'd have to look a little closer to realise that something was very wrong.

wow I'm sure that's Not A Metaphor For Anything In Particular

a lemon pye

[utopians]

honestly it's less the terrible visage of the pie that's been haunting me and more that they spelled it as 'pye' like the phrase 'lemon pye' has been ricocheting thru my head all week

Untitled Poem # 11634

The little, little more—thou lik’st     so well beseem’d the eyes. Are but once a man she taker     mad; mad in purpose laid, that could much gives the same lover,     and a peace is a crater. In vain the picked my petals     with answer given her

sang a stream. As, until she fell     to earthly dunghill in which bred that sweetest still, with clay,     dove-like flown, since kind, to tie up envy those very part,     varies he may say he’s buried here she did our dear self     proving accident or

crippling and pale forestry of     masts; a wildest dream by day. The Intent was seen, he may     yielded! With bleeds from the day, poor girls gave her thou hast long     orisons forbidden in the will I; as doth but rarely:     this poor twas, alas!

While new-fledged chicks know when the dark     hedges. But that spite I though sweet Electra, and haste, and     wit, fearless, and now I sate with grief, which now they see others’     propensity to Salámán rose a lily,     unheeded life, or sonnet,

August 2022: Thursday’s Harvest & Friday Around The Garden

Thursday’s Plot 420 harvest: 

I wish this shot was clearer. There is a male downy woodpecker trying to pull the squash vine borers from our lemon squash while a brown thrasher watches:

Hi! Your blog is a life saver! Do you have any Derek and Stiles in highschool but like Derek kinda teases/bullies Stiles cause he has a crush on him? Or I guess like comes off as a jerk cause he's trying to impress Stiles?

I think the expression for it is like "pulling someone's pigtails".

Thank you so much! 💞💞

Maybe these ones.

Shut Up Stiles by SlytherinsInSpace | 1.6K

Stiles has been trying to think of a way to come out to his friends, making out with Derek Hale in front of them seemed like as good of a plan as any really.

awful, wonderful you by stilinskisparkles | 16.9K | Mature

Truth be told, Derek was suffering from the mild delusion he lived in all summer wherein he actually thought this year might be different, and he might, perhaps, be able to bury the hatchet with Stiles and start over.

The superglue that’s destroyed a ninety dollar pair of pants, however, says otherwise. Derek knows how this play goes down; eventually, he’s going to have to climb out of the pants and trudge back to his dorm half naked. Stiles will gloat for a damn week; Derek will have to put up with constant remarks about Stiles getting him out of his pants... Dammit, he’s actually going to get Derek out of his pants, and it’s not even close to the way he pictured it happening.

We Share a Crown by ahloralordine | 15.9K

“So he’s in? It’s all settled? Woo-hoo. He’ll be here for pack meetings.” They only know about those through Isaac, who has been trying to convince Scott to join Derek’s pack with his sad, SPCA commercial worthy puppy faces every time they see him in the locker room, their chemistry class, and the cafeteria.

Derek tilts his head to the side. “Yeah. He’s in.”

“Cool.” Stiles lightly pushes Scott’s shoulder. He still looks like he drank pure lemon juice laced with wolfsbane. Oh, well. The love would come in good time. Hopefully. “And we’re off. Bye, Derek.”

“And you’re in too,” Derek says as soon as they turn their backs to him.

Kindred Spirits by Stoney | 104.7K | Explicit

Stiles is the adopted son of the Sheriff, brought to Beacon Hills to hopefully stay for good. A family, a best friend, school, Jackson as Josie Pye (because who else could he be?) and the mystery of a dark haired, green-eyed boy which leads Stiles to discovering a secret within himself.

Transcendent Love | Josie Pye

masterlist

summary: josie pye folded her crumpled piece of paper into a heart and gave it to the person she trusted the most

requested by: anon

words: 1.4K

a/n: re-uplod

Every one was different; that’s how people distinguish one another. And even if everyone was the same, the world would be boring and dull. Society loved change and even encouraged it, if it profited them in some sort of way, but not every difference was accepted. That’s why some people have to be quiet and blend in with the rest of ordinary people, causing no second glances when you look at them. Josie Pye was one of them. Even though she didn’t know it at the time, the feelings were there, ready to be tapped into and to be understood. Ready to be explored by some she would trust the most.

✰ ✰ ✰

Moody and you were on your way to school on yet another cold winter morning. Avonlea had turned into a beautiful winter wonderland. The winds were blowing fiercely from all directions and nothing but the dizzy whirling and the cold were surrounding you. Your arm was entangled with Moodys, afraid to slip and fall. You were stomping through the sea of deep, white snow when in the distance you hardly recognised the school’s tower. Trampling through the dusty parts of the snow you managed to climb up the hill with Moody’s help and were greeted by Cole who arrived at the same time. Opening the school doors you were greeted by the fire’s warmth that engulfed you in a big hug. You sat down at your assigned seat and turned around in order to engage in the ongoing conversation.

‘Well I think that we should meet at Diana’s house,’ Jane said. ‘Her house is the biggest and we’d have more room.’

‘I agree, but Diana’s mom has to give us permission.’ Anne replied.

‘What’s going on?’ you chimed in, still not knowing what everyone was talking about.

‘Haven’t you been listening? You have ears for a reason.’ Josie muttered.

‘Well I just got here haven’t I?’

‘Not my fault you can’t listen.’ Josie glared at you.

You never understand why Josie Pye disliked you. Ever since you moved to Avonlea you tried to befriend everyone in hopes of making loads of new friends, but Josie never seemed to budge. You remember talking to her on your first day of school and she ignored your presence as if you were invisible. You even tried baking a cake once; a lemon drizzle cake, one of your mother’s specialties, but she turned it down, making you walk back to your house in defeat. Josie had no reason to dislike you but she did. So you would just have to live with that.

‘I’ll ask mother and see if it is possible.’ Diana tried to clear the tension.

Everyone nodded in agreement and sat down for Mr. Phillips class.

Class ended earlier than usual today; probably one of Mr. Phillips’ weird days but you weren’t too concerned about it. Walking out of the school house you saw Jane, Ruby, Tillie, Diana and Anne taking their leave, leaving Josie behind. No matter how much Josie disliked you, you always walked back home together since you only live 15 minutes away and it was much safer to be a pair.

‘Can you hurry up? My mother's expectating me.’

You mentally rolled your eyes and tightened your grip around your basket, trying very hard to not lash out.

You walked side by side in utter silence. Nothing but the whistling wind and rustling trees were to be heard from afar.

‘Josie?’

‘What?’

‘Why do you dislike me so much?’

‘What?’ she turned to you with furrowed eyebrows.

‘Well it’s not a secret’’ you huffed, continuing your walk home. ‘You’ve had a grudge hold against me since I moved here. I am unaware of what I have done to cause you such negative thoughts and feelings but it’s getting ridiculous.’ Years of frustration rolled off your tongue effortlessly. Josie could tell you weren’t happy at all.

‘It’s not my fault you’re unlikeable,’

‘Oh, wow.’

The walk back home was silent and awkward. When you arrived at your house you didn’t say goodbye or looked back, you just headed inside, slamming the door shut.

✰ ✰ ✰

Josie arrived home later than expected. She spent the entire walk thinking and stopping every second. When she arrived through the door she was greeted by her father sitting on a brown leather couch and her mother reading the newspaper.

‘I’m back,’ she said bringing her empty lunch basket to the kitchen.

‘Mother?’ Josie peaked from the kitchen door corner. ‘May I have a moment? There’s something I need to ask you.’

Ms Pye nodded before folding the newspaper back in its original form and walked straight past Josie who closed the door behind her.

‘Mother, I was wondering if you might help me understand something.’

Her mother nodded, taking a sip of piping hot tea.

‘You see, we were talking about this in class with the girls and I was wondering how you feel if you hate someone, like someone, or love someone.’ Josie stared down at her feet in embarrassment.

‘Well, when you hate someone you wish them nothing but pain and misery. You cannot stand to see them happy. And well if you like someone you enjoy their company and do want them to be happy. And love,’ Ms Pye sat up straight. ‘Love is when you want to be the reason for their happiness.’

Josie sat in silence trying to process the information her brain was just delivered. She left the kitchen after their talk and thought hard about what she had heard and understood.

A few weeks after their talk, Josie went to the kitchen to make a homemade lemon drizzle cake.

If only she had realised sooner.

When Monday came around you couldn’t be bothered to go to school, but with your mother’s yelling outside of your heavy wooden door, you managed to get up, even when you looked horrendous.

Grabbing your basket, you kissed your parents goodbye and saw that Moody was already waiting for you. The walk to school was still cold as the freezing wind whistled through Avonlea. Arriving at school you saw that the students were sitting inside the cozy room, fireplace burning hot. You walked around the school building to place your milk glass in the snow to cool it when you noticed the Take-Notice-Board. You were honestly still surprised at its occupation. Curious to see what hadn't been noticed yet, you stomped through the thick layer of snow, only to be greeted by a surprise.

‘Y/N is the nicest girl I’ve ever met and I’m afraid I scared her away for forever’

Your eyes went wide as sweat pearls started to roll down your face. You grabbed the piece of paper and tore it apart, letting the wind blow them away. You strut back to the building, through the door and stood in front of Josie who was very occupied with Tillie.

‘A word.’ harsh words left your lips.

Josie rolled her eyes, but stood up, following you outside into the chilly weather.

‘Are you insane?’ you glared at her.

‘What are you talking about?’

‘The note on the Take-Notice-Board? I know it was you.’

‘What note?’ Josie crossed her arms, trying to protect herself from what was coming.

‘Josie, I know you wrote the note about me. I recognise your handwriting and so does everyone else! Do you know what would’ve happened if it wasn’t me who found it?’

Josie stared at her feet not knowing what to say or do.

‘Are you going to tell everyone?’ her eyes glanced up from the white glittering ground.

‘Of course not.’

‘It’s just…,’ Josie started stuttering, trying to find the right words. ‘I was so mean to you for no reason until I realised I liked you. I like you more than a friend and I was so rude to you in order to protect myself.’

‘Are you the one that left that lemon drizzle cake at my doorstep?’ you furrowed your eyebrows, letting a smile slip.

‘Yeah.’

‘Josie, we should talk about this after school to risk not being caught okay?’ you hugged her, trying to give her some reassurance.

She nodded.

You walked back into the building and when time came to go to your place, you were surprised with what a world with Josie Pye had to offer.
