Summer Stock Sunday

One of the fun things about the slower pace of summer is that we have time to try new recipes AND we have yummy fresh things from the market to try them with.  I tried this recipe a couple of weeks ago and it was very good. It's from Cooks Illustrated

Let me know if you want the recipe!


And here are two summer photos of the kids.

This pose is called "indulging your mother"

Summer Stock Sunday

Thank you, Robin at Around the Island, for encouraging me to "see" the summer around me!

And my Summer Stock Photo:

This is a cool house I saw on the lake when we were in the canoe. It has an octagonal shaped end that takes full advantage of the view they have.  Lovely!

Summer Stock Sunday

It's been a busy week getting the kids ready for the mission trip.  They're gone now, so we had some time to sit down and work on my book together.

While we were sitting there, we noticed a squirrel perched on my son's bicycle seat.  He is a squirrel with great ambition and no firm grasp of the realities of the situation.

So this is my summer stock Sunday photo/video.  Thanks, Robin, for hosting.  Hope you enjoy it!

Summer Stock Sunday

Robin, at Around the Island, hosts Summer Stock Sunday.  I'm almost too late to call it Sunday, but I will anyway.

This is my summer photo from this week.  Seen on a car in the parking lot at our favorite Thai restaurant.  We couldn't figure out just what it might mean.  If it had been on a Jaguar or a Cougar, we would have understood, but it was on a Suzuki!

It's a Friends of Tibet license plate, so Kathmandu is out ...

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Summer Stock is Back

Robin, from Around the Island, has revived her photo meme -- Summer Stock Sundays.  Each Saturday participants will post a photo that indicates "Summer" to them. (Sorry I missed the time -- I tend to think of Sunday as being on .. well, Sunday -- we'll see if I'm more successful in the future!)

One of the joys of summer here is that the youngest of the squirrels are out frolicking. They're a little smaller than their parents and a lot more headstrong. I can just hear the parents saying, "that won't work," and the little squirrel saying, "just watch me."  Sorry to post three photos, but you really need to see them in sequence. Be sure to click on the third to see WHERE the squirrel has gotten to.

Yes, he is INSIDE the feeder. Incredible.
