What fun. I've never seen peaches on the grill before. I'm definitely going to give that a try once I'm back home. Yum!

It's so nice to see that you've been able to really take advantage of your time off.

Enjoy it ALL!

Much love to you.

I've never put peaches on the grill, but you can bet I will now! They look so gorgeous in your photo!

All of these photos are great! It's so much fun to see summer through the eyes of friends in different places!

Mmm... roasted corn- one of my favorite things ever! You live in such a beautiful place :)

thanks for all the summer love!

about the peaches: if you have never grilled peaches, i hope you will try it! so easy and completely delicious. the grill intensifies their sweetness and makes them super juicy. we ate ours with a drizzle of tangy yogurt sweetened with honey. yum!

mary...summer vacation is simply glorious.

jo...yes yes try it! methinks you will love it.

nikki...yes, dessert! although i've also heard of a grilled peach and basil salad. they would be scrumptious with vanilla ice cream. your assignment: to try that combo and report back asap! :D

elizabeth...welcome! the door is wide open. it's lovely to have you here.

knitxcore...yum yum yum.

katie...we put butter, salt, and lime on that corn! oh yeah.
