Serenade....

It was quite a serenade from the mockingbird earlier while I was picking his blueberries.😊

Attempt at creativity....

It appears that my attempt to be creative with the last post just didn't go well.:-(  I had found the cutest little emoticons to go along with the theme for our women's chorus program - the sun, the moon, and the stars!  Also, there were some music notes and symbols.  At any rate, I had hoped to create a little more interest by including them, so there is more for me to learn about how to put them on the blog!

It's Friday, and the week-end is eminent!  Have a great one!

Touring season....

....is well-underway!  The women's chorus has performed six times, with three more scheduled!  If you see a group of ladies in this attire -

....just ask them to sing for you! 🎼🎶. 🌞 🌙 🌟 We are all about the sun, moon, and stars for this summer program!

If it blooms....

.....hopefully that means tomatoes will follow!

A record....

I believe it is official.  A new record high temperature for our area was set on Monday - 97 degrees! Summer must really be here!

Here is another good recipe for a summer day.

It also made the trip to the church covered-dish luncheon, and there were some leftovers to bring back home.  

It is a Weight Watchers recipe, and we have enjoyed it several times for the past few years.

Rather than the capellini, I substituted rice "spaghetti" pasta with no real difference in the flavor of the dish.

It could be another record-setting day today, so once again, staying cool and keeping hydrated are in order!

Keeping it cool....

What is better for a dessert on a hot summer day than something cool?

Try this!

I used french vanilla pudding for an increased flavor.  Also, no Cool Whip in this one!  Have you read the ingredients label on that product?  I whipped up whipping cream instead.  In my never-ceassing quest to bring no high fructose corn syrup over our doorstep, I used Back to Nature Madagascar Vanilla wafers.  

This went to a covered-dish luncheon we had after our church service on Sunday.  A couple of servings now remain.:-)

The order of the day here is to stay cool and hydrated!  Off to a busy Monday!

Will we share?

The birds definitely do enjoy the berries we have in our backyard.  Without a doubt, they will get their share.  They will not, however, get these -

This is the earliest we have had blueberries and blackberries ready for picking!  Yay!  Time for muffins and pie!

A reminder - tomorrow is Flag Day!
