harvest time

Oh I love this time of year, when the local harvest is in full swing (and my tummy is full of the goodness).  Here’s a few photos of the bounty we are enjoying right now….peas from our neighbourfreshly delivered from the okanaganflowers from Mamie's gardenlettuce from our gardencherries direct from the okanaganpie makers....celebrating the harvest with a pie partywe celebrated the harvest with a pie party

We celebrated the harvest with a pie party! Hope you are also enjoying all the local, organic food! Now if only Dimitri could catch a salmon (or two)…

All the bounty is inspiring this painting (in progress)….and so many fruit crumbles (peach and blackberry yesterday, apple and blackberry the day before).  Those were eaten before any photos could be taken.  We love the REBAR recipe here.

shucking time

oh how we love local fresh corn, oh how the girls love to help shuck it, oh how I love to see my youngest figure out how to do it with one arm (plus a couple helper appendages ….don’t worry, I washed them before we cooked them)…..p.s. she was most thrilled with the extra long “handles” on these cobs, perfect for one-handed corn monsters like her!
