Short, Long Story

This beautiful old fashioned summer with lots of heat and sunshine

is whizzing and sizzling by far too fast!

I have to say it's been one of my favourites.

When I think back to last January and February with all that

snow, cold and stormy days, how can I not love this summer?

Also, to be totally honest, this summer has enchanted me with

a wonderful new friend!

It's a short, long story that continues to give me much joy and hope 

for less lonely and more happy days ahead.

In other news - the bountiful harvest season has begun.

Cherry's inspired a Cherry Custard Clafouti

for our annual family birthday picnic in July.

Peaches have arrived and I had to make my annual 

Peach Custard Tart!!

I think I've shared this one every year - it's that good.

Just noticed that both these recipes are by Land O Lakes.

Other favourite things this summer so far:

Spending time with these two sweet little humans

A most wonderful visit from my dear Kentucky friends.

They have been coming here for a week of theatre and visiting for

more than 40 years!

Walks along the River in Stratford, spa days, and little farmer duties.
