Colorado peaches are here! Yum! I look forward to them every year. They are early this year - I think because we had such a warm winter, the peach trees must have bloomed early. These are all grown on the western slope - across the mountains to the west of us.
The rabbits are eating everything I've tried growing in my little flower garden, except the alyssum. I decided I'd better share a picture before they start snacking on these next! Fortunately they can't reach my large pots!
I found a new author that I've been enjoying, Ethan Joella. I read two of his books in a row over the last week. Interesting characters and stories. They start out kind of sad, but then the characters figure things out and the endings are good!
I got some happy mail yesterday - it was a package from Melva at Melva Loves Scraps, a special treat for participating in her Little House sew-along. Thank you, Melva!
LeeAnna's question of the week is about potato salad - how do you make it? I just happened to have made a batch of potato salad for the 4th of July. Of course I use Mom's "recipe," which might be written down somewhere, but I just know how to make it. Red potatoes, purple onion, celery, and hard-boiled eggs. I season the potatoes with a little vinegar-sugar mix, plus salt and pepper. Then mayonnaise to mix it all together.
My mother-in-law made hers completely differently,
with mustard, mayo, and pickle relish mixed in with the potatoes.
Of course I ate it, too, because... all potato salad is good, right?!
But when I make my own, it's my mom's recipe every time!
