As twilight descended on a summer evening recently I ventured to a farm nearby.
Along with me, my "live-in gardener", and another couple we joined people
from different lives over a meal from the farm.
It has become our summer tradition to do this
and I look forward to the time over food and fellowship with others.
We were greeted with a table of appetizers as we waited to be seated.
Each item came from the farm where we were or
nearby at another farm.
I could have just stopped here and nibbled the night away;
but there was more.
The chef worked nearby, such magic he plated and sent for us to enjoy.
Now I must say, my intentions were to show you the food,
but enjoying savoring the evening delights the evening slipped along
without a picture to share.
There was fresh corn on the cob, salad with lettuce and peaches, green beans,
tiny little roasted potatoes, chicken roasted with a lovely rub, bread,
and blueberry buckle.
Well I did finally realize I was enjoying the meal when
the blueberry buckle was served.
A picture was snapped and then to my delight I did eat it too.
The evening slid more deeply into twilight as I noticed the sun go down behind
the big oak tree.
What a special way to celebrate summer and time of fresh garden delights.
Summer is never complete until there is a meal under the twilight sky,
food from the garden or the farm with flavors that sing to my soul.
