Summer arrives!

July 4th has come and gone, but NOW summer really is here!  Today it is rumored to hit 80 degrees for us, and there is not a cloud in the sky.  This picture was taken outside my residence for you all to see.  Everything is quite beautiful presently.

While Tucson has been experiencing hot weather and now monsoons (which I do miss.....), we up near Seattle are basking in a summer finally that promises to be quite spectacular.  The forecast for the next week is basically sunny with no rain - I love the warmer weather and the gorgeous blue skies.  Trips out and about and fun times on the deck remind me of this all the time.
