Supper at the Pond

One night this past week we invited Mama (also known as Nannie) to supper at the pond. We went down a day early to spray for bugs, and to scrub the dock to get rid of bird poop from the phoebe nests. (The babies have all departed.)  I had a good time getting ready, digging out the pretty tablecloth that is just the right size for a card table --- it used to reside in the bottom of the ceramic water crock on the fish-cleaning/drink-fixing porch. I was able to pick a few flowers from the sun garden that Brad planted in the front yard earlier this year. And we had things from the garden: okra as an appetizer, snap salad with garden snaps and cucs, and a squash casserole. The meat was lamb cooked on the grill. Dessert was sliced peaches and strawberries. It was such a nice evening! The pictures are in reverse order --- it was later when Brad was in the photo, so we are nearly through the main course, and the sun has gone down.
