Summer Meanders On...

Well, we're into July already!! Around here, folks tend to put aside indoor activities and head outdoors to enjoy the warm weather. I've been no exception, and my blogging has suffered. However, we never know for sure how long summer will last in the mountains, so you head out as soon and as often as you can! So far, this year has been quite enjoyable...

We had wonderful weather for the 4th of July this year, and we took in all of the area's activities. We enjoyed a few parades -
And Oohed and Ahhh'd our community fireworks display!


Of course, summer isn't complete without a few good naps in the afternoon....
And we've enjoyed many a beautiful, sunny morning on our deck -

The petunias we planted in May have filled in the flower box very nicely....

Even the Hostas are thriving! One has even decided to try and "bloom"......(didn't know they did that!)

And the strawberries are beginning to overrun the house!














The best of summer is yet to come! We're FINALLY getting the boat ready for the season, and I am anxious to get out there on the water! That's IF the weather holds!!

Until next time, here's wishing everyone a wonderful summer!!
