Deborah's Delectable Fresh Peach Salsa

As you know, we love having our friends come visit at Lowfields.  I am particularly spoiled when Deborah and Robert come to visit, as Deborah does all the work in the kitchen and Robert helps out with many special projects!   I could list many of the delicious dishes she has made, but during this past visit, I couldn't get over her fresh peach salsa. I begged her for the recipe to share it with the blogosphere and she graciously gave it to me.  Be warned... this salsa is HIGHLY addictive!  


Deborah's Delectable Fresh Peach Salsa
1 bunch of cilantro
6 ripe peaches* - peeled & cubed
2 bunches of green onion
2 ripe avocados - diced
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
1/4-1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup sugar


Whisk together canola oil and sugar.  Add remaining ingredients.  Allow to sit at least 2 hours before eating (if you can wait that long!!).  


*You can easily substitute mangos for peaches when they are in season!

Deborah - a dear friend and a favorite guest chef at Lowfields!

A New Resident

When Kelli and Eliza were visiting a few weeks ago, we kept noticing Rolando gathering bags of Dogwood berries. We asked him the reason but we had trouble understanding at first.   Now all is clear.  This is his homing pigeon (yet to be named) and he is building a Pigeonnier for it to live in!    We will be sending out the welcome wagon shortly but it's certainly nice to have a new resident at Lowfields.

Bridget's Way

One of my favorite walks on the property brings you to this broken gravestone erected by a stonecutter building the nearby canal.   This was for his 4-year old daughter who died in 1838 and was given a very ornamental headstone as befits his calling.  When I found this on the property, I immediately named the path in her honor... it is now called Bridget's Way.   

Autumn at Lowfields

There are no words to describe how beautiful Lowfields is during the Fall, so instead, here is a peak at what I have the pleasure of looking at every day during this time of year.

Who doesn't love a pumpkin and squash this time of year?
