I loved how a blue borage bloom had landed on a vibrant green courgette leaf and near the gold of a courgette flower.
We have harvested our shallots today, a bit earlier than expected but with the heat and dryness they had stopped growing. They are a lovely colour but rather smaller than usual.
Here we have two expandable plastic pots with lids, not conventionally beautiful, I agree but they hold wonderful memories. They have been to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon with us on each of our many adventures. We used them for our breakfasts in the cabins, for our picnics on the various trails and for desserts collected from the deli.
Sadly, we probably won’t be able to go again (the awful and very sad fire of last year destroyed so much that will take years to restore) though we do hope to be able to visit family and friends in 2028 perhaps.
