Images of Summer

Summer is flying by! As I look back over fun times and garden beauty, I wanted to share just a few images with you.

 Tea in the garden

 The beauty of an Iowa farm

 Stargazer lilies

 Blackberry cobbler

 An Iowa garden in mid-summer

 RAGBRAI (Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) came through our town.

 A sailboat on Lake Huron, as seen from the incomparable Mackinac Island

 A delicate lavender poppy

 Eastern swallowtail on Verbena bonariensis

 Nigella in my teacup (don't drink this - it's for "pretty" only)

 Homemade red raspberry ice cream

A patriotic tablescape

I LOVE summer! But hey, I LOVE autumn too.

Enjoy each and every day, my friends. Each one is a blessing from God.
