This one is a bit better but neither one captures the full beauty of this lovely gift.
It is rather hard to believe that we are starting the second week of July. Wow this summer is racing by.
Would it not be nice to bottle up these sweet summer days and preserve them for next winter!
Speaking of preserving - this blackberry juice is ready to be made into jelly. The fence row is full of ripening blackberries and we certainly do not want them to go to waste :)!
Picked the first zucchini and squash of the season. These are such versatile veggies. Fried up with sweet corn and peppers makes them an excellent accompaniment to a grilled burger or hot dog.
With more heat on the way am planning on catching up with a bit of summer reading.
"The Cottage at Glass Beach" by Heather Barbieri has me already turning the pages. Have never read this author before. She has written another book "The Lace Makers of GlenMara". May add it to my reading list for the coming months.
Lastly, an update on those apples mentioned in previous post. The poor deer were getting the blame for eating them. I was wrong. Discovered this little fella with two other pals were the culprits. There is a reason these bandits wear permanent masks.
Well hope everyone's July is a good one.
Hugs
Debbie
