A Summer Day

It's been a week where everything we've done has been summer-ish. Lovely weather, and fun summer activities like evening walks on the waterfront, visits to the splashpad, yard work, and light fresh veggie summer meals. I haven't taken pictures of everything, but here's a few I've gotten.


Homemade Farfalle (Bowtie) Pasta for homemade pasta salad that is a family favorite. It wasn't actually closed anymore, but we could see where the water had been. The river is still incredibly high.

The light is even brighter when viewed through the dark forest. :-)

There's something so blissful about dappled sunlight through trees.

They don't get to play in sand too often, so when they find some, they take advantage of it.

Beautiful girls, who are growing up way too fast.

Sage--that hot summer smell that instantly relieves stress, and makes me happy, whether it's up in the Sage Steppes with my Land Rover and family, or by the side of a city trail on a summer evening.

Cheerful children.

Beautiful blooms.

More dappled sunlight, with that lovely orange glow of nearing sunset.

Hope your summer is treating you well!
