The Arrival of Summer
What an amazing start to a lovely month—today was gloriously warm and sunny and everything you could want from a summer day. Typically, this kind of weather doesn’t arrive here on the coast until after the 4th of July. so my little family has been reveling in this turn of good weather. We began our holiday celebrations early this evening with dinner on our tangy porch—sipping margaritas and coffee, hamming it up with the camera, taking in the view with the amazing telescope IZ’s father sent us, and enjoying just being together. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the official arrival of our beloved Summer. Can you?

LOL I love the tangy porch and the telescope and the margaritas. Not necessarily in that order

Adorable photos–and we’ve been enjoying the weather too! It’s wonderful to see sun and blue sky and Mt. Rainier! Our lawn isn’t enjoying the heat much though.

What a great summer celebration! I’m wondering about coffee & margaritas though. Seems an unlikely combination! Although, it did make me thing about how good a frozen Kahlua drink would be. Hmmmmm.

Well, the celebration went on for several hours. We started with Margaritas, then went on to dinner and coffees for dessert. ;D ~W
