Tomato Harvest

What a lovely surprise to find a great big bowl full of tomatoes ready for picking on our terrace upon our return from Maine yesterday!  These will be a major ingredient in tonight's dinner -- I plan to blister them to bring out their sweetness even more, and then toss them with some fresh basil (also home grown), some fresh corn, a little balsamic vinegar, a good sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and of course some pasta.

Another lovely surprise awaiting our homecoming was a delightful book from Memories4Me.  It's a search and find book starring our very own Mabel!  The grandchildren are going to love this when they come visit!  As you can see in the extra, Mabel is quite accomplished at hiding in plain sight.  See if you can spot her.  (I'll post the solution in tomorrow's entry!). Thank you, Patricia!  A "proper" thank you will be on its way to you shortly.
