A boy and his toad

Potluck joy

Love when healthy food tastes better than junk. Sweet local sugar plums and a quinoa cranberry crumble I had with yummy avocado cream. Wow!

Lovely time at a dear friend's home this weekend...

Morning

Lovely, cool morning on Saturday before things heated up again. That white egret visits most days and I thought I saw it flying with a mate. :)

these wonderful summer days

Beautiful

Up among the trees

There's been a sudden reappearance of summery weather out here along the river (sunny, breezy with high's in the 80's just before Memorial Day).  I love all of the seasons but each one feels like my favorite as it rolls in; you can still feel spring in the area but it's giving way to summer quicker than a blink.  We are, however, experiencing it in a slightly different way now that we are back home and 10 feet off the ground.  We always loved the river view but we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in what feels a little bit like a tree house suspended among 100 year old Sycamore trees.  (Sycamores are actually not native to our area but our fellow water-lovers feel like old friends that belong here as much as the sweet Maples). :) Here are some pictures of the aerie... ;)  Look for the baby raccoon in the tree in the last picture.  He got down safely!

Hope you are enjoying beautiful weather wherever you are...
