… of a Sow’s Ear and a Pope’s Nose -
…seems like it ought to suggest some sort of Cosmic Truism, but for some reason I find myself uncharacteristically at a loss.
As an aside, my tags will show that I’ll stoop to any depth to troll for hits. 
Sow’s ear and pope’s nose, dinner for my MIL when times where tight and her kids had to be fed. MIL was born a Cummington gal, daughter of Ruth and Art Giles, raised on not much money, lots of love, and boarding school in ‘hamp back in the day.
Laurie, I don’t know what “sow’s ear” is in the food realm, though “Pope’s nose” is a food reference.
As for your MIL, sounds like there’s a memoir/historical novel in that!
This hit comes from the Reader Appreciation Award via Guy Penn. I love your lines of crops going into distance, and the Transit pictures: over here, the cloud cover obscured the sunrise on the last fifty minutes of the transit. Congratulations on your effort as well as the happy accidents. I try to get good search terms, but “John Martin” which I did not anticipate is one of my best.
Clare, welcome, and thanks for commenting. And thanks for your kind appraisal of my photographic efforts; I work hard at it, and occasionally it shows.
I’ve been loosely associated with Guy Penn in another of his incarnations; he’s an amazingly talented “guy!”
I left a comment over at your place and bobbled it badly, calling you “Chris” – sorry about that.
In my own comments on my own blog, I have the ability to edit to improve them if I think fit. I am very happy to delete the second and replace Chris with Clare if you like.
Thanks, Clare, please do. I routinely fix typos here for regular commenters, unless someone is being a jerk (which happens occasionally if I get political, in which case I let them make their own bed.)
