First Tomato Of The Season!

Here it is; the first tomato of the season. This sun-ripened Lemon Boy was the first to the table from the vine. Right from the garden, sliced and sprinkled with a little freshly ground salt and pepper, a squeeze from a lemon and a sprig of fresh basil for garnish the flavor of this tomato was as juicy and vibrant as it looks.

Last Day Of School!

Nothing says summer like sandy flip flops abandoned by the back door. I like to keep things simple in summer. With a beach bag stocked with fresh towels, sunblock, extra hats, glasses and wraps, we're ready for a spontaneous trip to the beach, river, lake or even just an unexpected dip in a friend's pool.

Time to turn up the music, fire up the grill and let the lazy days of summer carry us away!
