Easter Eggs and BBQ in July

We are well into the month of July (only 3 weeks left before I return to work.)and I have Easter eggs and BBQ on my mind. Strange, isn't it to be thinking about Easter eggs? Not so strange to be thinking BBQ. The reason for Easter eggs is this little plant with a pretty little purple flower.

This pretty little flower develops one of these:
Isn't that a cute little egg?
This is an Easter Egg plant which is actually a member of the potato family. Supposedly, the little white egg will eventually change into a yellow egg as it matures.

Thinking about barbeque this time of the year is not so strange. This weekend is the Festival of Discovery in my town. One of the features of this festival is the BBQ competition. People from all over the south arrive to compete in various forms of BBQ - ribs, brisket, hash, etc. This year the Food Network is here following some of the competitors. This afternoon we cruised the festival checking out the various vendors. Guess where my hubby and I will be looking for lunch tomorrow. Here are few photos from tonight.


















Sewing update:
I finished a baby quilt and have started another one. Several friends will be birthing babies soon.
