a small pie

When I answered the phone this week a friend said he pictured me with my hands in pie crust. No, in fact my hands had been in dirt, I was gardening. And besides, I told him, it seemed silly to make a pie for just the two of us. "Agnes" he said "make a small pie". So this afternoon staring at the all the white peaches and apricots on the counter I made a small pie. We may have to eat dessert first.
