Summer Blooms

I picked up these beautiful flowers from Indian Line Farm and arranged them in a large teapot. These summer colors are perfect in any bouquet--a cominbation of pinks, reds, purples, and yellows.

Who wants sauerkraut?

This year, my garden produced an abundant crop of cabbage, which finally reached such a size that I had to harvest it!

There are many great ways to use cabbage, and I'm going to preserve mine by making some sauerkraut. First, of course, I needed a sauerkraut crock. After scouring the internet, I found a beautiful crock, and I hope to get started on it soon. Stay tuned!

Tabletop Tuesdays:
Sneak Peak!

I know it's still summer, but I thought you would all enjoy a sneak peak from our PBS Thanksgiving Special. The autumnal table features dishes from Country Living, and the food was from our Thanksgiving Special guests' recipes. Unfortunately you'll have to wait until November to see the rest!!
