Whaoo, summer is here, the furnace is off for the season, the airconditioner isn't needed yet and the grass is green.  Does it get much better than this?  I suppose so, but it sure doesn't seem so right now.

In a couple of weeks the tempertures will soar, the humidity will skyrocket and I'm sure that I will complain about how bloody hot it is, but for right now, it's beautiful!

When you live in the Midwest and have 4 seasons you learn to enjoy the uniqueness of each one.  The early summer is probably the favorite for me, the garden gets planted in the spring and comes up in the summer, bearing the tomatos that are so yummy!  The beets for beet pickles grow like mad and the opportunity will soon be here for fresh peaches and cream sweet corn!  A favorite easy meal, cold meat sandwiches and sweet corn, how wonderful is that??

Our kids will soon be home, the house will be alive with the voices of little ones and older ones, the activity level will soar and the love will overflow.  Life just doesn't get any better than that around here!

Have a great summer!
