anyway, this summer has been passing by, fast as usual. i already bought a mum, not that i am hoping fall will come faster...i just love mums and i am quietly excited for fall!! when i stopped at a little farm stand for some jersey tomatoes, i saw that they had mums out already and grabbed one. then i realized how much i love and enjoy how flowers pop out one at a time all spring, summer, and fall long. i really do love each season and i have been mindfully enjoying nature this year, as i eyed the daffodils, then tulips, then pansies, then roses, irises, gladioli, sunflowers, black eyed susans, zinnias...mums.
some treasures this season:
jersey tomatoes - i know i have talked about them already, but really...they are just amazing. i made this simple, easy and delicious sandwich after helping Jessie at her housewarming. I am going to make them for the 3rd time this week...
cucumbers - my garden was not terrific this year. not a whole lot of time at the beginning because i was writing my dissertation proposal, and then well, the summer just flys by. but the cucumbers are amazing and every time i go, i pick 5-6! i made my first batch of bread and butter pickles last night.
patiently waiting for some solid beach days on vacation - i have barely gotten to the beach this year, but soon enough...
sewing - my new addiction!! thanks melissa, for your wonderful classes this summer!
hosting in our new home - we had a bbq a bit ago, and had friends and their 4 week old baby over recently, and kevin and holly and orion recently.
eating vegetarian this month - it was mike's idea and i love it...i am hoping we might go a little longer.
baking from 'Rustic Fruit"- took it out from the library for the second time, i think i might need to just get it!
