Mine is also fruit related.☺️ Bought a box of fresh peaches (sharing) and they are Y.U.M.M.Y! 2 peach cobblers in the fridge, one for here and one to take to DNB, my eldest who has their own home now.
Also fruit related, I recently moved and have raspberry bushes out front but wasn't sure if they were planted/true raspberries or the (smaller) wild variety. Both are tasty but the larger would be preferred. I think the previous owner just kept cutting them back/down. I waited to see and yesterday, viola! A few juicy, luscious, tasty red berries appeared. Now I know I will be saving them with some transplanting being involved as they have kind of haphazardly spread. Love raspberries and look forward to more in future.

Our house came with raspberry bushes. We'd get a handful of berries a year until I decided to buy another plant at the garden store. Now raspberries are trying to take over the yard and we have more raspberries than I know what to do with... so every time I have 5 cups (every other day), I'm making sorbet. It's just raspberries (they have to be put through a strainer to get the seeds out) water, vanilla, sugar and lime juice in the ice cream maker but it's so good. Oh I haven’t made that in years snd I can so taste it and wish we could get raspberries cheap here. Enjoy your treat.

My sons are both home. Yds found out that he can stay an extra few days. When everyone is home my happiness is abundant.
I'll add that this is my first year growing corn and my stalks are thriving, so far. These are my new babies.
DEX . I love this thread. Thank you.

I am just finishing my cup of coffee and then I will be going outside to work in the front garden. I love yard work, but it has been too darned hot and I don't do well in the heat. I have been working on the garden in spurts late in the evening just before dark but even then, it is still too hot for yard work. I hope to get the front finished today. Well, finished as far as the trimming, cleanup, and watering. I need to hit the nursery to get some seasonal flowers to plant out front. Hopefully I can buy them this afternoon and plant them tomorrow morning. Seasonal flowers make my heart sing.

We got to hang out with our dearest friends last night and play some music together.
My oldest daughter finally broke things off with the boyfriend who has been dragging her down for three years. We had a rough first week, but she is rebounding beautifully and we’re starting to see glimpses of the sweet young woman she used to be. I’m so proud of her strength and courage.
My younger daughter has a booming kid and pet sitting business this summer and is showing signs of maturity, confidence, and responsibility that are very nice to see.
My chores are done for the day, I had a great walk/jog this morning, and I get to sit here and watch the fans of Detroit show their asses while the Astros keep winning games.
Oh, and it’s still summer break.
Much joy in Mergeville today.

The fulfillment of a promise my dad made to me. I told him I wanted a/c in the new house and he took me seriously (he also needed someone to look after him with bad hips) and I think it was a fair trade off. He is very happy with his care.

I'm being absolutely lazy today, but am planning [in my head] a birthday card to make for one of our darling great-granddaughters who is turning 12 next week. I want to get it in the mail tomorrow. The thought of finally seeing my granddaughter and her family this summer is bringing me joy. I have not seen them for well over a year. DGD called me on Mother's Day and told me that they are planning a camping trip next month in our region, and will take a day and come over for a visit. I can't wait!

Memorial Day weekend 2020, I ordered a new fridge, which was initially to be delivered August 2020. The delivery date has been continually delayed until it was delivered today. Oh gosh! Ours died last week and we settled for one that would be in stock and delivered 2 days later. I can’t imagine waiting that long! What’s bringing me joy today? My DH but he always does!
