Oh Nancy, everything looks delicious, especially the gooseberries! Boy do I miss them. This July I’ll be in Germany and can’t wait to eat lots of red currents. Maybe the gooseberries will still be available too.

Can’t you have gooseberries now, Melanie? Currants are even nicer shrubs and don’t get very big (at least the red- and white-fruited ones). The gooseberries here are finally starting to get ripe – mmmm. The red currants are starting to color up too, but I’ve learned to wait for several weeks to sample them. I hope you get to enjoy lots of good ones on your travels!

Wow, what fun!!! Of course, I had to rush into the mudroom to check the emergency jar of powdered Gatorade, and sure enough, it was lemon-lime, despite the orange packaging that had tricked me into thinking it was the much-preferable citrus flavor! Oh well. Wonder what the bunny would make of Gatorade? This heat is as rough on them as it is on us. I’ll be taking her some ice cubes later on… gasp…

Yes, the orange packaging is kind of confusing. I’ll have to see if I can track down some other flavors some time and do a taste test with the boys.
