July feasting

Dr. Hausfrau arrived longing for the tastes of July in the Midwest - ripe tomatoes, corn on the cob - and the baked beans and cole slaw that go with them. So we prepared a feast.
Mimi added watermelon and ripe peaches.
The Bloomingtonaut had mementos for all from her Grand Tour. Her shopping encompassed two countries and four states. There were walrus teeth and caribou horn and fishy pens for the kids. There was a daintily painted antique tray and a carved polar bear from Alaska. The fancy socks were much admired.
Not to start a new theme, but notice the octopus on Mimi's socks.
Dessert was Octopus Cake.
