Summer time is Salad time as opposed to Hammer time...

Love this combo for a summer salad:

bacon

gorgonzola cheese

mushrooms

asparagus

balsamic vinaigrette dressing 

Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/2 c balsamic

1/2 EVOO

1/4 c honey

1 tbsp soy sauce

dash of cinnamon

Paintings....

I made these for my new nephew's nursery.  He is adorable and they went with a quilt my sister is in the process of making (she would be done but the little guy had to come a month early!)
