Day Two Hundred Four 2013

If it could only be like this always - always summer… the fruit always ripe... ~Evelyn Waugh

Summertime on a plate

Day One Hundred Seventy Eight 2013

Fresh and Frozen - Vintage Fruit

Feeling patriotic today. Or maybe fruity. I’m not sure what inspired me to arrange fresh strawberries and frozen blueberries on this plate I bought at the Nashville Flea Market last Friday. The vintage feel of the plate seemed to call for a vintage photo look, so I ran the photo through filters and frames on http://pixlr.com/o-matic/ and here you go. More fun than a human being should be allowed to have in the span of fifteen minutes.  Happy Thursday, everyone! Hope yours was inspired.

Day Ninety Four 2013

Strawberries on steroids. Neil bought a box of strawberries last night at Wal-Mart for grandson Knox, who loves them. We’ve never seen ones so large, have you? Makes you wonder what they’re feeding these things. Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better, though, because the giant ones aren’t as sweet as the smaller ones. I guess we’ll just have to dip them in chocolate. And whipped cream.

Day Fifty 2013

Randomness

Taking the back road home

I love a sunny blue sky day

Windy today, like March, only it’s not. Yet.

Grandson ‘Gangsta’ Elijah after school (he said he was wearing his hat like a gangsta, so he gave me a gangsta face and some gangsta moves)

Juicy navel orange slices ended up in a fruit salad for supper tonight. Good stuff.
Hope there was some good stuff in your Tuesday. Especially the random kind.

"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato."
~Lewis Grizzard
My sister and her hubby grew this lovely tomato, which now belongs to me. I’m thinking BLT. That’s what summer is all about.
