Hello summer

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is high and bright outside the patio door already today. The girls are loving the high temperatures and dry heat that are allowing them to dry out from the east coast. I am enjoying the unexpected rainstorms that have been happening in the afternoon. I guess that keeps us all happy on the weather front. What have we been up to this week? Serra has been having more time out and about with her bestie. No concerts this week, instead a two-night sleepover. We also had our traditional sushi dinner. Amanda does not like sushi, so we indulge on occasion when it is just the two of us. It was also a new...

Out and about

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! You wouldn't think it was summer with the view outside the patio today. I think the sun is hiding and things are a bit cooler than last week. I rather like it. Serra might be ready to bake like a lizard but I'm not. What did we do this week? Amanda had some fun with friends in her last full week in Rochester. I get the feeling she is ready to come back and see her people again as she did a test run on packing. Here's hoping it is a quick few days for her. Serra is having a blast with the bestie as they went to a concert this week and dancing last...

Summer already?

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The weather is bright and clear outside the patio door today as the overcast skies and rain have given way to the sun. I rather enjoy the rain and hope we aren't into blazing hot temperatures too soon even if the calendar now says June.  What have we been up to this week? It sounds like Amanda and Serra are both enjoying some rest and relaxation. Late nights with friends and lots of sleeping in are their agendas at the moment. Not a bad way to start the summer. Serra has been out and about with her local bestie twice this week and I have a feeling that is how most of the summer is...

Celebrations

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's good to see that we are having a bit of spring with some cooler temperatures. I was not quite ready to jump to the heat of summer. I also happen to love rain and everything is wet outside the patio door. I hope it sticks around for a while. What have we been up to the last two weeks? After a photo shoot and packing a bag Russian doll style, I hopped on a plane to New York to see these two! I think they were glad to see me. We spent part of one day packing. Serra finished her first year of college! She did a great job taking care of classes and...

Relaxing

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's bright and sunny so far out on the lake today and I've already seen a couple of people enjoying it, even with the early hour. Thursday it looked like I had transported to Scotland overnight with the dense fog. I have gotten better at spotting the bunnies on the hillside and had some visitors that day. I have affectionately named this pair Henry and Margaret. They come down the hill from the lake and occasionally tap on the window at the door. What I didn't know until just the other day is why they come down. My neighbor feeds them! She puts corn out for them every morning. It brings back a flood of...
