For #FoodOnFriday, our persimmon tree is loaded this year, and I used some to make a batch of persimmon cookies last week. They are soft and moist, and the consistency is really a cross between a cookie and cake.

For #Caturday, my cat EW, circa 1999. My neighbor Lisa took him in as a stray and named him Edgar Winter. When I asked her why the name she said "because he has long white hair and is kinda freaky looking". Her cat Josie didn't like him, so he wound up with me. He was a sweetie, and the name stuck.

For #BlueSkyMonday, the sky was surely lovely when we visited Cadillac Mountain in Acadia N.P. last month. From the top you could see many of the smaller surrounding islands.

For #FoodOnFriday - with tomatoes, peppers and eggplant from our garden and onion and zucchini from the farmer's market, you have the ingredients for sheet pan ratatouille. I add some fresh basil at the end to perk up the flavor, and use liberal amounts of a good olive oil.

For #FoodOnFriday, nothing says summer like a BLT with homegrown tomatoes fresh from the vine, and corn from the farmer's market - on toasted homemade bread.
