Nature's Ribbons & Bows

Memories of today: Nice breathing room. Asking my mother-in-law for her famous salad dressing recipe [1 cup canola oil, 1/2 cup cider vinegar less 2 T. balsamic vinegar mixed in, dried basil, couple garlic cloves, 1 t. Dijon mustard; mix, let sit, strain]. Seeing a scrubby fox hide behind a tree. Eating steamers and lobster dipped in butter. Skipping stones. Taking a 3-mile morning walk w my sister-in-law Eileen.
