The Summer Six

  

Visiting a camel farm was something new I did this summer!

As many people carried on with their summer vacations, I just couldn't.  I couldn't ignore the fact that we were  in a pandemic or the fact that there was a possibility of violence occurring at a moments notice in any given city ( or small town). Because of this, I chose to be cautious and stay close to home this summer. Which let's face it, if there was ever a time for me to stay close to home, it was this summer. The new puppies really absorbed most of my attention anyway and the fact that I didn't get to go on a vacation, really didn't seem that important. 

Banana Cream Pie

 

This is my last of the summer pie recipes, Banana Cream Pie.

I've been buying a lot of bananas this summer because they make a great treat for the puppies. I usually cut them up, freeze them, and then put them in the food processor to make banana ice cream.  I add some peanut butter to that and Sybie and Willow go crazy! 

Murder on the Trail

Over the Labor day weekend, my sister and I did what we've been doing all summer, we went for a hike. Again, we found another new to us trail. If anything,  COVID made us more adventurous.

Coffee Date- Back to School Edition

I am very much looking forward to the long weekend! In the past, this has been the weekend my mom and I would be at the beach. However, my husband thought it wasn't such a wise decision to go during a holiday weekend (like we've always done over Labor Day), not just because of COVID, but also because of all the protesting and violence ( whether intentional or not) that is ensuing!  I have to say, that as much as it saddens me, I do agree with him.  So I guess I will stick around and have a coffee with the ladies!  

Summer Runfessions!

                                 

                               It's Friday and that means Marcia's Runfessional is open!

So, let's see if I have 5 things to Runfess this month. Actually I'm going to call this Runfession the Summer Edition! 

Lemon Blend Pie

I have been doing a lot of baking this summer. It seems that baking and hiking has been what has been taking up most of my time this summer. Which I am grateful for the hiking because what I've been baking have been mostly desserts!

This week I am sharing another yummy pie!

That "Dateline" Trail

Another week, another trail! It seems we've been doing a lot of that during the summer of Covid!

 If you read my sisters  post the other week she mentioned that we went to one and we didn't even get out of our car because it felt like it could have been a Dateline episode.

After we came home I was talking to my one friend who is an avid hiker and she said that she had hiked some of those trails before and that she would gladly take us there.
