What Do You Think?........


Last night on our walk...

One of my neighbours, offered me some of his pears...

From his pear tree...

I asked him if I should sit them on the counter to ripen...

He replied.."I like to eat them just like that"...

"Really?"...I replied...

"I kinda like them soft"...

So...what do you think???

Do you think they will ripen???

Or...

Stay hard???

Had quite an exciting day here...albeit...a long one!!

Will save that for another post...

Enjoy your evening...lovely and hot and sunny here!!

Have everything prepared to make Summer Pasta...with Ceasar Salad...

It just seemed fitting....

                         Cheers!  :o)

Today........








Today was spent running around...
Nothing too much accomplished...
A few groceries...
A "Deck Warming" gift...
A few bits and bobs for Miss V ♥️..
And...after returning home...in the humidity and dullness...
I decided I should have a hot cup of Apple Cinnamon Tea and a Yellow Delicious apple...
While my tea was brewing...My eye caught the 2 apples and 2 pears I had purchased...the pears are called Forelle...aren't they looking scrumptuous with their lovely blushing cheeks! I will have to wait a few days to enjoy those babies!! As I looked out the window, I loved seeing all my Rose of Sharon in bloom...and...I noticed my Limelight Hydrangea had a few blooms on it...took a picture thru the window, then decided to go out there and have a closer look...they are so glorious...I wish I would get more blooms!! It is in its 3rd year, and I still only get 3-4 blooms...I guess I should be grateful for those...instead of complaining... 
 


When I returned inside...my tea was ready...apple all sliced up...so I took to the couch for a half hour or so...enjoyed my tea...and did a wee bit of crochet!!
 

Hope you are all having a great day...
We were supposed to get some rain today...instead...just clouds...
The humidity is still with us, but doesn't feel as bad, without the sunshine...

I am pleased to say, that I will have the night off from the kitchen tonight...
My boyfriend is out with a longtime friend, who is in from Denmark...
They have worked together for at least 20 years...
But as the business has expanded...he travels to different countries now...
But he made a point of stopping in Toronto overnite, so he and boyfriend could spend some time together..
We haven't seen him for a few years...they are visiting a few of their older customers...
And then...We will all go out for dinner!!
Not sure where...but honestly...no problem!! hahaha!
It will be nice to see Chris again...he is a lovely person... 

So...what have you been up to today...
How is your weather??
We will have Miss V tomorrow...:o)

Enjoy the rest of your day!!
Cheers! :o)
