And the rain came down, down, down . . .

 I guess our dogs are real California dogs who don't believe in the possibility of rain. Their favorite occupation is pulling their blankets out of the dog house, letting them get soaked in the unexpected rain, and then looking very bemused about the whole turn of events. We provide them with great dog houses - they crowd into the same one. We line them with comfy blankets and towels - they drag them out and often shred them. When we inquire as to what happened, they look as confused as we do about 'How on earth did our blankets get out there?"

One of my favorite fruits . . . Tis the season!

 I like just about every fruit or vegetable that has crossed my path. I do, however, have some absolute favorites . . . probably because many of them only make an appearance during particular seasons. I was cutting into one of my top choices for a snack and was taken with how pretty it looks. This one only shows up in the Fall and I look forward to it every year. Can you tell what it is?

There are a lot of recipes using this fruit but since it only shows up for a short time each year, I have yet to get tired of them and prefer to eat them out of hand rather than disguise them in cookie dough or cake batter!
