Sweet Dreams
Don’t you just love that pocket of time before waking up but still remembering a sweet dreams? I stay in bed a few minutes longer hugged by fond memories pictured in my dream. In dreams. all my senses are more than awake, turned up like a dial on a stove, stereo, or thermostat.

My neighbor around the corner is an animal whisperer. I’ve never seen such devotion and tenderness. She has three adopted dogs, one cat, and one newborn kitten.

This salad uses two in-season, hot summer, garden staples: zucchini and basil. It’s a recipe for when you’re tired of the basic dinner salad.
