Our first batch of hot peppers are ready.

Fresh summer peaches in a class of chilled Pinot Grigio. Perfect way to take in the late summer afternoon sun and to talk and reflect on the day.
I first tried pinot grigio poured over thinly sliced peaches while visiting a small fishing village in Italy. Every day my daughters and I would walk down to the public beach. At lunch time the restaurant owner would bring is a pitcher of wine with peaches accompanied with cheese, meats and fresh fruit. Every time I have a glass my heart is back on that quaint beach with my beautiful daughters.

Life has its ups and downs!
The 174th Erie County Fair said to be the third largest county fair in the US.

All zipped up and ready to go.

Getting into the swing of the midway!
