Can you tell I’ve got company coming for the weekend? I’ve been on a baking binge–banana muffins, bread, cookies, brownies….plus I made a major swing by the farmers’ market. Doesn’t that all look good?!

I went blackberry picking again this morning, and I’m cleaning house now. Arriving this afternoon is a writer friend and her daughter. There will be lots of playing in the river, porch swinging, and oh yeah–eating! What are you up to?
