Slow Food Vegan Sunday

Slow Food Sunday. Amaranth, artisan baked breads, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted corn on the cob. Yard long beans, simmered in garlic and fresh tomatoes. Throw it all in a pan with spices, experiment, and you have dinner. The Farmer's market on Saturday is something to look forward to every week, since these folks grow and harvest their own produce. Buying veggies to the sounds of live Jazz music puts a smile on every mug there.

An Elegant Pond

This lovely pond was for sale, along with the house, for a cool $375,000. It was viewable from the sun porch. The homeowner provided lemonade. It was a welcome treat on such a hot day.

Parade of Ponds

Oh this was so fun. There were eleven ponds and we only made it to the first nine. Actually I went with my daughter to the first 7 and my friend Sue and I went to the last two. It was overcast and warm and although it was a bit sticky the lighting was good for photos.

Happy Independence Day

"Land of the Free, BECAUSE of the Brave" is a quote from a sign in my neighbor's yard. Very true. Our forefathers were brave, and our veterans and armed forces sacrifice for our freedoms. Thank you!

Gardening, with my brawny helper

I love stone edging, and stone paths. However, it gets pricy! This is a neighbor's garden entry, so lush and lovely with water grass, sedge, and statuary.
My hubby is helping me with the brick edging I started. It's a great workout, and neighbors are dropping by to see the progress.
