The sun shines bright on this Kentucky morning. Even though the air is cool it was also quite moist while I enjoyed my coffee on our patio. The bayberry tree  beside the patio is full of berries. The wax-wings and robins fly into the tree and quickly leave with berries in their beaks. This sight reminds me that stone and pome fruits are on their way: cherries, plums, peaches, apples, pears, and nectarines.

Today my LittlestApron has a make-up baseball game and then we’re going to a family picnic after the game with the players and their families. I plan to make some Kentucky Dill Dip and Sweet Bourbon Baked Beans for the meal. (Both recipes from “the book”.) Good times for a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Here are some more recipes that make a picnic more delicious:

Red Beans and Rice with Chili Vinaigrette

Hummus
