🌿 Sunday on Great Island

Published about 2 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all had a nice week. Somehow, for the first time in my life, I’ve become a garden person!

It started last fall, when we tore out all the grass in our front yard and turned it into a woodland garden with a winding flagstone path. This summer has been all about filling it in, although the deer and rabbits seem to think we planted the whole thing for them. It’s been a lot of trial and error.

(Please hit reply with any advice!)

My neighbor is leaving town and gifted me the ripe champagne currants from her yard. They're like jewels! I need to decide what to make with them asap, they won't last. They were stunningly beautiful on my almond pavlova.

Oh and I don't know how you're doing it lately, but dinner at our house is pretty often a last minute affair. Toast has come to the rescue more and more often.

Yes plain old toasting white, but also biscuits, pita, cornbread, tortillas, and more. There are lots of quick and easy ~ but most importantly delicious ~ ideas here.

Cleaning up my summer habits

Hey friends❣️ I've said this before, but healthy hydration is my pain point. It might be the most unhealthy aspect of my diet. I'm into my coffee in the morning, and my glass of wine at night, and not much else in between. I know. It's bad. So I guess you could say this collection is more for me than for you. 🤣 Non-Alcoholic Drinks for Summer get the recipes New today! I've gotten into the habit of picking up those bagged salads at the supermarket ~ you know, the ones with the teeny packets...

My 75 Best Summer Berry Recipes 🍓

Hey friends❣️ Coming across fleeting summer fruit is one of the great joys of summer. It could be a pint of perfect strawberries at the farmers market, a backyard mulberry tree, or a black raspberry bush discovered on a hike. These are treasures not to be passed up. A couple of handfuls of berries is all you need to make something you’ll think about long after the season is over. You could eat them out of hand, or drop them into your morning yogurt, but I’ve got a better idea... Mulberry...
