For this deliciously summery moment...

I'd like to thank Todd for tirelessly slaving over the pool for WEEKS to make it swimmable and my parents for the non-sweating Tervis tumblers. They had the vision even at Christmas. When it was cold. Which it is definitely not right now.

And also myself for thinking of putting frozen strawberries in lemonade. That was a stroke of brilliance.

Honorable mention to the weather, which has seen fit to spike to over 100 degrees. It's not even July yet!

Good timing

Been wanting these for years. Got two of the last three to be imported for the foreseeable future, plus a small, slightly cracked one for $10!

They're about two feel wide and I think they'll live on either side of the garage door, planted with shrubs and annuals. Yay!!

Spotted in the garden...

First tomato of the year! Winner: santiam.
