pesto goodness...

this time last wednesday, missy was outside playing on a blanket with three other little girlies while the mums stripped basil plants in preparation for making a giant batch of pesto. the basil plants (and garden where the babies were playing) belong to one of the mums from my mums group, who generously shared the fruits of her garden with us for helping her make the most of her basil harvest. it was delightful to sit and chat while stripping the basil plants, soaking up the last real sunshine we'll see for a while (even though we were rugged up against the chilly breeze!)

and below is the loot - which husband is enjoying on his lunch today:



take care,
