Muscadines & scuppernongs, oh my!
Thanks to some super sweet folks I got an invitation to come pick my favorite fruit right off the vine today. I love this time of the year because not only does my favorite fruit come in season, but it means the cooler weather is on its way.
They had some beautiful vines! And both kinds to pick.

After church cookin
When we got home today, I was hungry. I got my new Country Living magazine this week and there was a new recipe that I wanted to try.
It was really good. The pear and balsamic was sweet an tangy.

Afternoon storms
It's been really hot here. Like "is the air working?" hot. It's been my task this week to keep the furry furries that live outside as cool as possible. I found intstrustions online in how to make these PVC dog beds that get the puppies off of the hot ground and give them a canvas bed that get the air circulating under them. Online they're quite pricey so back at the end of June with much help from the Bear and my niece, we made the first one. We also place a box fan right at the edge of the bed, and we make some shade, and the pups seem to be very happy. They've given up the cedar filled dog homes for the cool cabana life.
Today, I was able to cut the pipe and make the second one so they both have there own. No snuggling when it's this hot. Also, the beds do really well in the rain and a few days ago, I was able to video a small bit of the sweetness that is Bonnie and Clyde.
