salad days

It's 10:45 and I have finished four large salads for the party.  I have three more salads to make closer to the 4th.  So far there is a corn tex-mex style salad with a couscous base, a pasta salad with vegetables, a seven layer salad to be tossed at the very last moment, and a broccoli salad with sour cherries and pumpkin seeds. I still have a spinach and mandarin orange salad with slivered almonds, a chicken salad for sliders, and a platter of sliced tomatoes with basil and mozzarella. It's to be 90 degrees, what can I say.  Salads are in order.

David and his dog, Leo, are on the way from Florida for a week of fun.  He's already in Tennessee, so he is making good time.  There will be 20-25 people here to swim and visit.  We all need a break with fun included so drinks and cards and games and swimming will be on the agenda.

I need to get on the 25 pounds of peaches ripening on the porch.  Everything at once, you know how that goes.
