delicious peaches

pretty peaches. delicious peaches. it was quality not quantity this year but they were wonderful. johnny pruned our tree, thanks johnny, and told us we might not get as many peaches this year because of the pruning. but as a result we had peaches the size of softballs! ummmm they were good. we are lucky because we have early peaches. it is a hint of things to come later in the harvest. i love the summer fruits and veggies. cinny got the first tomato from our garden because she planted it. we have tons of zucchini and summer squash and the cukes are almost ready. we got a taste beets and carrots from johnny's and also jeff's gardens. yippee. i love good food!

let the sunshine in

it only took over 4 years, but i finally had all my windows cleaned. my goodness, i knew they were dirty, but i didn't realize they were that dirty!!!! well ok, maybe i did know they were that dirty, but i didn't realize how much better i would like my windows when they were clean. hmm, can you like a window? i think so. windows let you see out into the world. windows let the light, both day and night light, in. windows keep the bugs out. windows are good. clean windows are better!

dvorak visited america from 1892-1895. in 1893 he wrote his symphony no. 9. the second movement "largo" is among a family favorite. i have numerous renditions of it. all lovely. johnny sent me this link after my last post. i can't wait to show it to gram. it encompasses many things she loves. dvorak, andre rieu, sheep and johnny! she remembers that a version of this music was played at her mother's funeral. gram was but 15 years old. for all those who will still be alive - i want this played at my funeral too!

ps - watch the movie "paradise road". it's a tear jerker but has an inspiring rendition of the "largo". auntie mae first told me about it. if you can't find it, borrow mine.
