The Pleasure of Summer

The local mall has this wonderful fountain that the children enjoy during the summer months.

Heirloom Tomatoes

Vine-ripened tomatoes are one of the best things to eat in the summer.

Pluots

This delicious fruit was first developed by Floyd Zaiger, age 83, of Modesto, CA. He and his family also hybridized nectaplums, apriums, churiums, and peacotunes. These pluots being sold at the Torrance Farmers' Market on Tuesday were so good that I went back to buy a second batch.

Waiting for the Meteor Shower

This is how we passed our time Tuesday night while we waited for the Perseides shower. Unfortunately, the high clouds prevented us from seeing it.
