Summer Camp

Summer arrived last week, briefly! The high on July 1st was 59, the low on July 9th was 60! The PNW is all about extremes! We did our best to enjoy the heat and sun. Jess was here for a visit (great timing, it was over 100 in Portland!) and we spent lots of time near water. Just sitting.....


Or enjoying music in Elizabeth Park during their weekly free concernts.....


Or swimming at Semiahmoo.......



and enjoying the great view of Mt. Baker from there.....


or picking raspberries with dear friend, Leslie, on her farm....lots of memories for Jess here, she and Leslie's kids used to play Little House on the Prairie in these fields....

or watching Wally watch the sunset at Larrabee State Park......


or eating supper on the patio.....

or helping Dad edge the lawn....eeww, bad memories of doing this chore herself!
Summer has taken another hiatus, it's back to clouds and temps in the 60's. But....it's not raining, so all is well!

It was great fun to be part of your "summer camp". Thanks for your wonderful visit. It was a treat to see Jess again...She is a beautiful young woman -- inside & out! You should be proud... :D
