Nature's bounty

Our generous friends loaded us up with goodies like heavenly watermelons and sweet cucumbers that the kids got to pick off the vines, heirloom peppers hanging heavy from the plant, and golden tomatoes from the greenhouse.

We also got some fresh eggs which made the best scramble I've ever tasted. Brown are usually my favorite, but I'm partial to the blue-green now (none of the light ones are white - all shades of blue-green). I'll never go back to the store if I can help it!

We love fresh-from-the-farm flavor. I only wish we could grow them ourselves. Maybe someday...

This weekend...at the farm

On Saturday, we went out to a friend's farm. It was amazing. We got to tour the chicken coop, the garden, and an extra special herb garden. The kids had a wonderful time, too. It was a great day trip, and we are blessed to have friends who are so good to us. Thank you!!!

For the birds...

Last night we impulse bought a hummingbird feeder at Walmart. It was so pretty, I couldn't help myself. The kids just love it and they have gone to the window about 30 times to see if we have any hummingbirds. None yet, but it hasn't even been a whole day.

Bling, Bling...Superstar!

Megan spent the day with a friend, and she came home with a pair of retro sunlasses (equipped with "diamonds") and the world's largest rock on her finger. She looked absolutely adorable! Oh, to be young again...

Boo-nana Bread and my favorite pan

We all got very little sleep last night, but I for one was productive! I made Banana (or Boo-nana) Bread from another great JoAnn Creamer recipe.

I have to say, it was wonderful. This is all that was left after breakfast today.

I used my favorite Le Creuset pan (I got it on clearance at Publix of all places). I only paid a few dollars for it, but I LOVE IT! If you bake loaves, you might consider getting one. It is so worth it.
