the last of the summer

A suggestion of a breakfast out together with my husband one Saturday morning gave motivation for a stop by the Farmer's Market. If you want to go to a place of abundance I find a Farmer's Market fits that need quite nicely. 


Fairy eggplants being held in Charlotte's hand to show the actual size, the skins are tender as to be eaten. I don't know about you, but these are eye candy.


We love lamb and the years we spent raising sheep spoiled us somewhat, always allowing lamb to be readily available. Finding a good source of lamb, especially rack of lamb, can be tricky, yet we believe we might have found a good source at Whole Foods.

Charlotte was asked to participate through dance one afternoon in the local library's children's summer program. Several of the older boys made laughing noises but she danced on with grace.

Most summer morning I walked and on this particular day the blue sky and white hydrangea caught my attention. 







Friends from Ohio visited in late July and we and we were able to celebrate her birthday. 
Sweet times.
