With many thanks to a dear friend, we have canning in our future. He brought peaches with promises of more, if we want them. Yes! Peach jam, peach pie, peach cobbler, canned peaches…what’s not to want? Buttercup set up guard. I think she liked the smell of the fresh fruit.
The house cats have been entertaining. Amy has taken to sleeping in this box of office supplies.
Cedar loves the kitchen stool for nap time, but she’s getting a bit long for it.
The grands got their school exams this week. Poor Miss Laurie had to give them their shots. Snow White took it in stride. Rose Red was less happy about it. But they did fine and now are ready for the first day of school. They liked the fact that Miss Laurie wrote their heights and weights on the exam table cover.
Pa was happy to get home from a week as camp director. Camp is great, but home is better. He brought camp t-shirts for the girls and they immediately had him on the floor doing some “art.”
The bouquet for church last Sunday was made of surprise lilies, hydrangeas and butterfly bush. We have surprise lilies all over the yard. Such a delicate looking flower for this usually hot part of the summer.
Here’s the menu for the week. The peach cobbler was delicious. I added some frozen blueberries to the fresh peaches. Very good!
