I think I was still in the hospital at that time. Anyway, I enjoyed this post very much and your dahlia is glorious. Dahlias are a favorite of mine - just don't have the room for them here. I hope you all have faired well during the terrible storm, that the outskirts of it didn't bother you. Have a great day and week ahead!<br />Sandra at Maison De Jardinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032615112624122716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-37492192322098928432022-07-21T07:53:31.751-07:002022-07-21T07:53:31.751-07:00It is fun to see your July delights, from the dahl...It is fun to see your July delights, from the dahlia (wow!) to dinner (yum!).

After the greens and asparagus that were abundant months ago, my garden has not been successful. The adzuki beans failed, the okra failed, the eggplant failed... on and on like that. I bought new eggplant starts, but only two, so that won't go far. I hope I can get some greens going again for next winter. But I'm glad it's only me I'm (not) feeding off my vegetable beds.

And a bit of frustration too as the rainy spring apparently was hard on your food 'crops'.

I will always associate them with your corner of the world. Yours is a beauty and how fun to see how different the coloring will be from bloom to bloom. The colors are perfect for a Canadian garden.<br />It's interesting to see what's blooming in your garden. Our blueberries are long gone. When I look at the bushes it seems a bit sad to have to wait another year to enjoy the berries. I suppose it does provide a deeper sense of appreciation to be part of the whole process.<br />I hope you will enjoy trying out the recipes in the cookbook. Looking at your pork and apricot dish makes me think you could easily write your own cookbook. That sounds like a delicious flavor combination.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-18362604223124216982022-07-20T09:52:39.464-07:002022-07-20T09:52:39.464-07:00You always manage to make me really "see"...You always manage to make me really "see" what's happening around you. The Rebecca's World is stunning! I've never used apricots to go with pork but what a perfect combination of flavors. The John Hadamuscian cookbook has been one of my favorites for decades. I have 5 of his beautiful cookbooks. Be sure you look at the Lemon Meringue Bread and Butter Pudding--it is so good!
