Summer's Here!


It's time to wade in the water...


eat fresh and summery foods ...


nibble on berries made juicy and sweet by the sun


and explore new tastes and textures ... 

The first day of summer here is overcast and not very warm. But surely things will change. We're hoping so! 

How are you marking the first day of summer?

  1. Thanks for the Zucchini recipe! IT sounds wonderful.

    I am spending the first day of summer picking tons of French Green Beans to blanche and freeze for winter...

  4. Isn't it fun to have a baby around when the weather gets warm - playing on a blanket on the lawn, trying new tastes?
    I'm heading for work in Nanaimo today - then again next Tuesday....it should be a pretty drive over the Malahat.

  5. What fun 'summer' glimpses. That baby is too cute for words...... did he enjoy his nibble of parsley?

  6. The first day of summer looks lovely in your corner of the world. We've had summer temps for months -- at 11:30 pm it is 100 degrees out so you can imagine what daytime is like. No outdoor activities going on around here. But lots of eating and baking. :) Happy summer to you and yours! Tammy

  9. I forgot today was the first day of summer! Thank you for the reminder! Got together with a friend today at a park and our kids played for almost 3 hours! Times flies when there is adult company.

    Lovely summery photos, Lorrie!
