Tiger Lilies, Soup, and an Accident

 Another lovely warm day. One of the things we wanted to do was drive out into the country and buy more blueberries. There is such an abundance this year that the price keeps coming down. We bought another 25 pounds ( most will be shared with our children).

My Tiger Lily loves the sunshine and more than half her blooms are now open.


I know soup is considered more a Fall and Winter meal but we enjoy it in all seasons. This time I made Borscht which is a soup of Ukrainian origin and  has dill, tomato, cabbage and beets as  important ingredients. I didn't have any beets but the soup turned out just fine. (That's sour cream on top.)
 


 Middle Son was on his way home from work yesterday when a car full of young people came straight through a stop sign, not even slowing down,  hitting the truck so hard it spun around and ended up facing the opposite direction.  MS has a sore chest ( from his seatbelt) otherwise he fared better than the driver of the other car. We're thankful that nothing more serious occurred.
Here the truck is already on the tow truck.


I'm off to have some of the leftover soup. Thanks for visiting,  GM

  8. What a shock. Car accident.
    Good thing nothing bad happened to your son.
    It's terrible when some of them don't drive concentrated in the car.
    Your lilies are beautiful.
    I picked black currants in the garden and I am happy about it.
    Many greetings to you and all dear wishes.

  9. I'm so glad that he wasn't hurt more. The truck sure took the brunt of the hit didn't it? People drive so crazy here too. I don't. understand it.
    Your soup looks delicious although just the thought of making soup in this heat sounds yucky. :-)
    Blessings,

  12. Thanks goodness your dear son is okay! What a drama! I'm shocked to see the photo.
    Good to stay calm and eat some rest of the wonderful Borscht! I love the white dip on the top of the soup and we do often the same. Soup in the summer is good for to get enough water for the dry body. We often have some soup in different variations. Good idea to try some Borscht.
