For a Little Reading and a Little Eating
Okay, I refuse to do any more work today…..it is ‘quitting time!’ :-)
I’m off to the porch with my cherries and my magazine. (I probably won’t eat all those cherries!) Yes, it is warm out there. Yikes….but I simply have to go outside for a while each day; with a ceiling fan overhead. (don’t laugh) :-)
I’m not a big summer person but I do enjoy all the wonderful fruit and veggies. Aren’t these cherries a thing of beauty and so delicious.
See the tomato sandwich…do you like them? I just love them but my hubby thinks they are revolting. They taste so refreshing in the summer. Yum!
This issue of Victoria is a feast for the eyes!
Hope your summer day is treating you well.

Lovely post Barb. I haven't taken the time to look at my new issue. You reminded me to take the time to sit down and relax and on the front porch in my rocking chair will be the perfect spot even if it is HHH here in our area of N FL.
Have a wonderful afternoon, Carolyn/A Southerners Notebook
Hello Barb! This beautiful post would be perfect for my Victoria-A Return to Loveliness Blog Party! It occurs each Tuesday - the link is still open for this week, if you'd like.
I so love Victoria, have all the back issues and the current ones. It is the perfect magazine for a break! This months is quite terrific isn't it!
Enjoy your break!!!

Hi Barb...glad you are enjoying the heat and outside! The cherries look great...I had raspberries yesterday! I just love them. A good magazine and an ice tea....sounds perfect!
Enjoy your special 'ME' time. I wish I could join you!

Oh, that is not that many cherries. I love the way they look on that pretty plate. Enjoy!
I could eat that bowl of cherries and then some! Love fresh summer produce (and am SO grateful for my garden!)
Enjoy your quiet time reading that beautiful magazine. I'm pea green with envy!
{Pssst: I was doing a little fall dreaming today, myself!}

Hello Barb,
The cherries look delicious! I love tomato sandwiches and they are one of my favorite summertime lunches. One of our clients brings us Ugly Ripe tomatoes and they are by far the best for making a tomato sandwich!

Hope you enjoy your time or on the porch. You won't find me laughing about a fan on the porch! I think the heat index is about 106 here today. I had to go out earlier, came in a took a short nap. :D
Those cherries would be gone in a few moments if they were put in front of me...so yummy! And yes, the tomatoe sandwhic....grew up with them. They were so quick and easy to make. Fresh right out of Gramps garden, his tomotoes didn't last long for sure. I love 'Victoria', I have every issue ever printed. And the first issue is still as exciting as it was when first published.
Enjoy the harvest of summer's fruit and veggies...
I am enjoying that same issue of Victoria. It's my favorite magazine, though I also love Southern Lady and Tea Time and a few others.
I have five cherry trees, and would you believe, I'm not getting a single cherry this year. A miserable spring, including freezes in late April and early May, killed everything. No cherries for me this year, unless I want to buy them at the store for $3.98 a pound.
Enjoy!!
Hugs,
Patti
Its a hot summer for us but like you I do some outdoor time as often as possible. I have some fresh blue berries here but I have seen cherries available too. I do love the fresh fruits and vegetables they taste so good. Enjoy!
I picked up a Victoria magazine today...and I have cherries! I think I'll join you! Is that ceiling fan on high? Enjoy your day! ♥
Isn't that issue of Victoria just beautiful? Really, I adore that magazine these days.
Hi Barb,
I love tomato sandwiches! Tomato and butter on toast! Or, tomato and cucumber on rye bread! YUM!
I love this issue of Victoria. Enjoy your little rest on the porch under the fan.

Hi Barb! My kids used to have a guinea pig as a pet, and these kind of cherries were her favorite snack! She would get one after dinner, every night!.. As for tomatoes, I get mixed reviews from the kids. One likes them and the other one doesn't; but I LOVE them!.. Well, some time on the porch sounds wonderful! Yes, enough housework is enough!.. Enjoy!! ~tina
Hi Barb, I understand about the heat and girl your cherries and magazine look so inviting-can I come join you. I think I'll definitely have to get the magazine-the tomatoe sandwich looks so good.
Have a wonderful cool evening.

You're absolutely right about this issue! We had to go to Dallas today (a 90 minute drive), and I took mine along to read. LOVED it! Of course you know it had my colors this issue and I was just thrilled with the magazine from front to back. (I have a ceiling fan out under my pavilion. This kind of heat about kills you.)

I do love 'mater sandwiches, Barb. And peaches and berries and fresh veggies like corn and okra and tomatoes and peas. If we could just have all that without the heat and humidity....
Barb, your cherries look delish! I bet they are too. I love tomato sandwiches! Especially with our homegrown ones from the garden. I love fried green tomatoes too. Guess you can tell I'm from the South.

I agree totally Barb I have to stay super cool all summer! I am a Fall and Winter person, which never fails to illicit sideways glances from anyone who knows me, lol.
Have a "cool" day!

Those cherries look delish; I love the fruits and veggies of summer too and love a tomato sandwich. That issue of Victoria looks so pretty; I'll have to check it out. I, too have to go outside for a little bit even when it's so hot out. Have a wonderful day!!
Looks like a perfect way to relax!
