| A fresh platter of goodness |
 |
| This tuna salad is less than 50% tuna - the rest is delicious, crispy wondrous produce and herbs - basil, parsley, cucumber, various varieties of tomatoes, celery, carrot, and so much more |

| My little helper! |
 |
| Heading out for our daily walk - even though I did end up carrying him for part of the walk, it is too desperately hot for babywearing comfortably and I like him to stay out of the sun - even so, we both came home sticky, I with rivulets of sweat streaming down my face and back and my shirt and shorts soaked! |

| Making a big batch of relish |
 |
| Building a platter - my newest favorite way to cook |
 |
| Anything can go in a platter! I load it up with vegetables, potatoes, and here I am adding some flaked tuna, chopped boiled eggs, tomatoes from our garden, small bulb onions, minced peppers, and homemade mayonnaise into which I blended a handful of sweet basil and a big clump of flat-leaf parsley |
 |
| The finished product, served on a huge platter - Mr H loves a platter dinner! |
 |
| Bored with our menial tasks, the little man transcends this mortal coil |
 |
| A rewarding breakfast of oatmeal, honey, peaches and cream after a full night of canning green beans ... note the timers for the pressure canner, as I finish the last load and then take a nap on the couch in the morning sun! |

| I love little signs on toothpicks, hence, the little signs on toothpicks that you see here |
 |
| It's a good thing shabby-chic is in, and Mason jars are stylish ... cuz that's all we've got! I made these little candleholders using brown paper I saved from a box my family had mailed me ... good thing I save every scrap of paper and ribbon, neatly stashed in my Paper and Ribbon tub :) I always use the bits n pieces! |
 |
| Topped with mint sprigs from our garden |
 |
| Slender eggplants, peeled, sliced and broiled; then blended with lemon juice, garlic powder, fresh parsley and basil, salt and pepper. Spread it on crostini! |
