More summer inspiration...

Blueberry ice cream - love the color!

Lavender Honey

Lemon Basil - must try this one!
(recipe: wholefoods.com)

I am thinking about purchasing

one of these.. Costco for $39.99.

I think it would be fun for the summer,

and we do love ice cream in this house.

Might be bad for the waistline though...

Summer cooking inspiration

* When it gets hot here - and it is...

I get in a bit of a cooking slump.

Just feels too hot to cook anything - and who

wants to heat up the house by using the oven?

NOT ME - !

I found tons of inspiration for summer

cooking at bhg.com, cookinglight.com

and wholefoods.com
These are just a few...

I am feeling a bit more inspired...

Little gems

I picked the first of our heirloom yellow

pear tomatoes this morning. Yum!

Many more to come...

Special thank you

In addition to the thank you note I wrote

for our friends Bob and Sandra,

Logan made an adorable note to send

along to Miranda.

This is what he came up with,

too cute!

There is something so precious about
the sweet, simple drawings of a child.
You can never recreate these!

Sweet tomato

Ripe tomato from our vines.

Can't wait to eat it.

today and it really feels HOT!

California weekend

Weekend in San Diego for Kevin & Brittany's

wedding. We stayed with our friends Bob

and Sandra at their beautiful home in

Encinitas.

*

The weather was sooo nice.

We did a lot of relaxing and cooking out

in their gorgeous back yard.

*

This is their daughter Miranda's

playhouse that Bob built it for her.

What a lucky little girl.

Miranda's garden - too cute.

*Logan lost his front tooth on the way home.

Will gather the best photos from the wedding

and will post later.

Sunday by the pool..

The weather was unseasonably cool

and breezy yesterday - about 80 degrees!

It's normally in the hundreds.

We are enjoying every minute, we

know it won't last much longer..
