All those cool days turned into hot ones, proof that summer is fully here. Walks at the river, to the pond and then little projects inside. Friends came to visit which inspired serious house cleaning to get ready. Always good to actually see what's here and think about why. Mary likes orange, so I collected a bundle of orange favorites for her.
I like orange too.
Wishing you all a good weekend. Holiday next week!
Beautiful. I love summer. Out here we rarely get days that are very hot. So I enjoy the few that are.
Stay cool.

I always use company as a reason to clean...otherwise, there is no reason!
I'm sure you had a lovely visit with Mary and family. Old friends are the best friends.
We are in the middle of the western heat wave, but it's not the killer temps other places are seeing. I think parts of Bainbridge Island may have reached the high 80's today, and for us, that's sweltering. I think maybe two people on the Island have air conditioning...we usually let Mother Nature handle all our cooling needs.

The instagram of you and Mary (you are wearing a striped shirt) is the BEST photo I have ever seen of either one of you! Really! It is beautiful of both of you and you seem to be so relaxed and happy.....wow....
I am so glad that you got to spend some quality time together..... xo

Orange is my favorite color. Seriously, is there a prettier color? I think not. Mary and you both have great taste.
Love the pictures as always.

Fun to find your blog today on Typepad's Feature. Love it when I find another 'of a certain age' who still remembers things like buying fabric in department stores...back in the old days. Love your instagram as well.
