A Steamy Morning at Lake Harriet

Great Blue Herons at Lake Harriet

Singing to the roses

One lovely summer day, as I approached the Rose Gardens just north of Lake Harriet, I heard a lovely operatic voice in full intensity.  It was one of those times I was grateful to have my camera, but I wish I could have recorded the amazing sound as well.

Ho-Hum, just a lazy summer day on the porch

Summer Supper on the Porch

Cut up some fresh tomatoes.

Add some fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and salt and pepper:

 Cook some penne pasta.  Mix it all together.  Fry some fresh or frozen onion in olive oil.  Drizzle both oil and onion over the top, toss, and voila:  Supper!

Some purchased banana bread for dessert could make it all super easy.

And how about some smoothies to top it off?
