Garage Sales-pretty much a year-round event here in Bella Vista, but I've had some exceptional finds lately. My favorite being a big box of Little People. 5 bucks got me this sweet loot.
Chonies on the line-I am SO glad I have a fence!!! With summer here, Ross and Marge are airing out their drawers on a regular basis. This photo was taken from the side road. You can see my back fence over to the left. Dear Ross, your little picket fence does not block my view of your skids.Fish and "chips"....- We LOVE steamed zucchini with a little butter and salt. The girls call them "squash chips" and it doesn't really matter what is on the menu for dinner...if it is summer, squash chips will be part of the meal.
This frying pan is an awesome kitchen toy if you like to grill fish. We usually grill salmon in foil, but any other fish variety gets grilled in this cool pan. It allows for grilling without fish falling apart on the grill and slipping though the grill rack slots. You can also grill veggies with it and not have to worry about them sticking to the grill or charring. Love it! Last night we ate cod and it was ready in 8 minutes. Perfect.
Corn on the cob-delicious. Uh...Q dressed herself.
Blueberries!!! I picked this bad boy from my yard this morning along with 2 others. Yeah, so far, only THREE blueberries in my patch are ripe enough to eat, so we are going picking at The Blueberry Barn early tomorrow morning! Syrup and jam coming right up.What are your favorite things about summer?

mmm send some of that goodness home with the 'rents.
i love that your little Quinner is shucking corn, J is not into it maybe it's the braces, and she can't have any off the cob, but i think its more teenage 'tude...since i will cut it off the cob yo!
fave things about summer...floating in the pool soaking up the sun, fresh fruit from the fruit barn and knowing the BOYS come for a week for Camp Vasquez...and hopefully more than just that week.
AND looking forward to hopefully basking in the awesomeness of my Arkansas kiddos...come home, please.
Favortie summer things? Eating raspberries off the vine, running through the sprinklers, fresh tomatoes, shorts, the warm beach, swimming lessons.... the list goes on and on.
Mmmm. Corn, watermelon, cherries, basil, tomatoes, squash, grilling...and getting tan...these are a few of my favorite things.
Definitely Corn on the Cob and Watermelon, with every meal. I think it's genetic. And, the pool, most days of the week. New this summer, but I think it's gonna be gooooood!
