Good 47º clear sunny morning. Yesterday we topped at 87º.
Nice!
Breakfast yesterday was a Schwans omelette (ham and cheese) sprinkled with
Parmesan, some apple sauce, and one of the blueberry muffins from Taprock.
Here are some truly amazing photos, shared by pal Ellen (Naugle)

Then lunch was a Pita Pizza! I took the leftover beer battered cod, heated
it, smeared Olive Oil mayo with cracked pepper on the warmed pita, topped with
the cod and some tomato and garlic salt.

Peach Ice Cream Day
Peaches are one of the best flavors of the summer season. People wait for
about 48 weeks for the peach harvest to ripen. And, when it does, for a few
short weeks, its "peach everything"! In celebration of the harvest, the ice
cream companies make peach ice cream. Its hard to find other times of the year.
Most major ice cream makers only produce it during the summer. (It kinda makes
you yearn for the old days of HOJO's 28 Flavors!)
Peach Ice cream is the way to go today. Enjoy it on an ice cream cone, in
an ice cream soda, in a sundae, or simply in a dish.
