This year's summer has been hot, 24 days of above 90 degrees, and 7 days above 100. The heat is wearing me out, however, there is always a pleasant side of being in the summer season. Berries are in big harvest this year, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. There are just cute and adorable, have become somewhat abundant in the grocery store. One work day, I went picking up the fruit basket for my manager who went to outer bank for a week. She participated in the AgriBerry farm co-op, and is getting a supply of the fresh fruits weekly for around 20-30 weeks. The pick-up place was at the parking lot of the shopping plaza at the Gayton road. The basket contained four small containers of the berries (retail $5.50 each) and then wholesome plums and white peaches. They were so delicious ... I could eat the berries all day, and let my hands and mouth soak in the red juice and enjoy the taste of summer that the season brings. The other happy find is avocado. I was finally able to make some decent avocado salad, all with fresh and natural ingredients from my own fridge~~ this is a great success and reward after my numerous attempt
The newest addition for home improvement is the new Chinese forever green plant.
Revisiting Belle Isle in the 2010 year this morning, and we found out what was in the other side of the pedestrian bridge, the old dominion iron and steel company ... all these went through boom and bust and decimate within one hundred and ten years of history. I particularly liked the remaining bridge base in the middle of the water, they were like lonely castles that once were so important to the survivals of people, now retired to being onlookers of the new generations. I wonder why they didn't take them out, but the scene wouldn't be the same without them.
