Stone Fruit Sangria

This beautiful jar of sangria seems as fitting a symbol as any for how these days after the move have unfolded--abundance, color, sweetness, and lots of sharing with friends and family. Maybe I mentioned here that I was scared of being lonely. I am sure those moments will come--the kids in school, Yancey on shift, me missing all my Seattle connections. For now, though, this jar is full. 

Kelly joined us for dinner, and she helped us empty it. I've known Kelly (Yancey's sister) since she was twelve (!!!), but it's been a really long time since we lived in the same town. It's great to be together. If your sister-in-law is visiting (or friend, boss, neighbor, mother...), pour them a ladle-full of this.  The fruit doesn't need to macerate like this sangria, and it can be whipped up in a flash. Happy Summer, friends.

I feel refreshed just looking at this photo! Summer cocktails are the best. I've even been known to mix white wine with soda water for a "spritzer" on especially hot days (very old lady I know, but they know what they're doing)....can't wait to try this beautiful cocktail!
