This song is for my daughter!
Contests - My friend, Dar, at Peeking between the pages is giving away 5 copies of "Off Season" by Anne Rivers Siddons. She is a great Author so you will want to enter this one!
Amendment!!! - Dar is also giving away 5 copies of "The Walking People" by Mary Beth Keane, so be sure to enter both!
I won a book!!! It is from Toni at "A circle of books". The book is - The Summer Affair by Elin Hilderbrand. It sounds like a great steamy book, can't wait to get it.
Top 5 - With summer coming and all the fruit coming out now - favorite fruits
1. Peaches - love homegrown fresh peaches. especially on icecream.
2. Strawberries - Especially strawberry shortcake, or strawberries on icecream.
3. Blueberries - Blueberry coffeecake!!! and on icecream!
4. Raspberries - They are expensive here, but I do love them... on icecream.
5. Cherries - Yum! haven't tried them on icecream but I bet it would be good!
There are places around here where you can pick peaches, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and cherries! You can pick them your self, its a little cheaper that way.
Yay Ashley!!! Congrats. It's hard to believe you graduated college. I remember building couch pillow forts with you in the living room and reading book, after book, after book to you!!
ReplyDeleteI looove picking my own fruit. It has become an annual thing now to go pick apples at Lyman Orchards each year. Matt, Casey, Josh and I went last year with our friend Melissa. It's so fun. When were done we get apple cider. Then I go home and either bake an apple pie or make apple crisp. Yummy!
Congrats to Ashley.
