I just love this time of year....... the peak of summertime, where color ooozes from the garden, and the bounty is heaped in bowls all around the kitchen! Today the kids brought in yet another amazing bowl of tomatoes! We sat around the table at lunch time, eating fresh slices of red, juicy tomatoes with mayonnaise and salt and pepper sprinkled on top! Delish!!!!
After lunch, I sprang to work stirring a pot of peach jam, with fresh peaches off our neighbors tree! What a treat!
Slicing up fresh peaches, with juice spilling through my fingers, making me want to chomp into one of the fuzzy heads.......with anticipation of the glowing jars of jam within a few minutes time. 
Can I hardly call this "work"?
Then back to the floor full of fresh cut flowery goodness, waiting for me to piece together! 
It's all the same...........picking, baking, making, eating........all part of the art of living!
