Today,

we are back again in the garden

of a good friend of mine.

While she harvested edible bounty from her garden,

I walked around taking photos for her to use as backgrounds

on her laptop or print and frame.

This shot is of some variety of purple basil,

beautiful, yes?

She also demonstrated for me and another mutual friend

how to make fresh pesto.

Promptly off to a large, local produce stand, I bought parsley,

and two large bags of basil ($3.98 each),

EVOO and pine-nuts from Costco.

It made a lot more than I anticipated.

I ended up with about

three-quarters of a gallon of pesto.

I will be sharing with my daughters and friends…

just sayin.’
