For #BlueSkyMonday, the sky was surely lovely when we visited Cadillac Mountain in Acadia N.P. last month. From the top you could see many of the smaller surrounding islands.

I urge everyone to read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. The soldiers there were more like war criminals, not heroes!

For #FoodOnFriday - with tomatoes, peppers and eggplant from our garden and onion and zucchini from the farmer's market, you have the ingredients for sheet pan ratatouille. I add some fresh basil at the end to perk up the flavor, and use liberal amounts of a good olive oil.

For #FoodOnFriday, nothing says summer like a BLT with homegrown tomatoes fresh from the vine, and corn from the farmer's market - on toasted homemade bread.

Ally has beds her mama bought for her, and cubes galore. So where does she hang out these days? A Chewy box!

It's tomato time in our garden. Nothing says summer to me like a BLT made with homegrown tomatoes, plus corn from the local farmer's market.

I am almost giddy with excitement with our friend Mary Allen running for Congress!

Evansville City Councilor Mary Allen launches bid for seat in Congress: 'Why not me?'

Democrat Mary Allen rejects the notion that by running for Republican Mark Messmer's seat she is asking voters to fire him and hire her instead.
