This week I have read many recipes from the contributors to Fiesta Friday looking for some inspiration for the menu for this summers Pot Luck – Everybody Cooks. There may be less people this year. Sadly my dear friend Alan has moved away to Portland, Oregon. He is always a great addition to any get together because he is a story teller and all around fun person.
The recipes that are shared on Fiesta Friday are a source of ideas for cooking that are endless fun and a challenge. Once the event happens, I’ll write up the menu and recipes.
Presently my head is swirling with recipes…
In the mean time, these photos I share with you of my walks around Lake of the Isles, in the heart of Minneapolis. It is one of four lakes next to each other in the city. I made a photo essay for fun. Here are just a few photos of what I found on my walks in June. Also enjoy a bonus Cherry Blossom Honey cocktail story below.

gorgeous pictures! You should paint some of them!
Thanks!
Thank you for taking us on your beautiful walk and showing us the sites. The Canada goose family is so sweet – I usually just see them in the sky squawking like silly geese. If you are looking for pot luck recipes, you have certainly come to the right place. I am taking notes too for the entertaining that is ahead of me over the weekend and into next week. I look forward to seeing your recipes.
Thanks, Hilda. Nice of you to like my posts! I appreciate the feedback.

Nice pictures 🙂
Thank you! It’s a nice town.
Thanks!
That yellow bird looks pretty. I love the goose family, too! 🙂
I hope someone can identify the bird. It was with a flock of wrens!
