Free Love Letters from Ladybug Farm by Donna Ball Page B

technicality, but better safe than sorry. Also, that part about “no material changes to real property,” I just replaced the “no” with “Client agrees to reimburse provider for,” which is much more fair to you. Faxing it off right now, if you’ll just initial and get it back to me I’ll put copies in the mail for you tomorrow.
    Sorry for all the fuss, especially when we have so much to do! Don’t you just hate lawyers? And my husband is one!

    Hi Daddy—
     
     
    Is it ok if I use the Am-Ex for a webcam for my laptop? The one I have is WAY too low-res for international transmission. Mom said No Major Purchases without prior approval but it’s only $249.95 online plus S&H.
    I promise I won’t use it to upload porn.:) :)
     
     
    XOXOXO

    Darling,
     
     
    White bunting? Out of doors? Are you sure?
    As for the color scheme, I must say I really don’t know what it is just now. Yesterday it was navy and black. Perhaps you should check with Traci?
     
     
    Yours,
    Cat

    Thanks to everyone who has been so nice about the magazine article in Virginians at Home. If you haven’t read it yet, you can see it online by clicking here . Guess what? Ladybug Farm has gone into the wedding hosting business! We’re starting with a small affair for a darling young couple in June, and I’m trying to use as many fresh local ingredients as possible. We have a huge fig bush that gets lots of sun and usually has ripe figs by early June, so I thought of this recipe for a finger food. Try it at home and see what you think!
    Does anyone know where I can get fresh local goat cheese?
    Three-Cheese Stuffed Figs
    1 cup chèvre/goat cheese
¼ cup blue cheese or Gorgonzola
1 cup Neuchâtel
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup very finely ground walnuts
2 dozen pitted, split figs
     
     
    Blend the cheeses together in a food processor or by hand with the honey and finely ground nuts. Stuff each fig with 1 tablespoon of the mixture and refrigerate until firm.
    For an exotic variation, add 1 tablespoon of chopped, fresh rosemary to the cheese mixture, or 6—8 sprigs of spearmint. I’ve also added 1—2 tablespoons of bourbon for an unexpected punch.

    Be careful when you’re picking the figs. They attract wasps like crazy!

    tried this recipe with the rosemary and served it as a starter for my special roasted vegetables and couscous. Very Mediterranean!

    I’ll have to try it with couscous. Sounds fabulous.

    can’t believe you don’t have dairy goats on your farm! Then you could have goat cheese whenever you wanted.

    I’d LOVE to have a goat!

    Dear Bridget,
     
     
    liked what you said the other day about the way the fog sits on the meadow in the early morning. I think about it sometime when I’m stuck in traffic on my way to work, and fantasize I’m there. The life you have sounds like paradise, and I hope you
