Did you see a few recipes you want to try?  I know I did!  We’re harvesting cucumbers by the basket load these days and our daughter and son-in-law have been sharing their bounty with us too.  We are cucumber crazy over here 🙂  But we’re not complaining, because with the crazy hot days we’ve been having we feel lucky to have any at all.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a lovely weekend!
