Special day today - my two great-nephews are being baptized in the same service - large family gathering after church - family gatherings are my very favorite thing these days.

Watching the hummers come to the feeder in the gray light of dawn (fresh nectar in it for them). The song ‘Morning Has Broken’ came to mind. We had thunderstorms last night ....

Sweet the rain’s new fall
sunlit from heaven,
like the first dewfall
on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness
of the wet garden,
sprung in completeness
where God’s feet pass.

I have 8 medium sized zukes, and one MONSTER (how does that happen?) on the counter right now.

The smaller ones are going to be made into ‘Zoodles’ with my Zoodle-maker tool, some grated for future Zucchini Pancakes and some cut into bite-size pieces for a Zucchini and Stuffing Hot Dish. I INDULGE us just once each season. Not the least bit carb/calorie friendly, but SO, SO GOOD!

(I prefer ‘pieces’ versus ‘slices’ of Zucchini in this, so I normally nuke them with some water for a few minutes so they’re as well baked as everything else in the casserole.)
