Summertime

This week we are officially supposed to clock our first 100 degree day. I am in mourning. I guess I have to be grateful for the months that we have spent enjoying the outdoors while most of you have been hibernating inside. We will be cowering under our airconditioners till mid-November. These pictures were taken at our neighborhood party at the park last week. As you can see from the one of Alex and his friend Ben, tt's already warm enough for snowcones.

Mother's Day was great. This is the first year that Alex has been old enough to really get it. He gave me a packet of lavender seeds to plant in my garden and came into my room grinning with a bowl of Cheerios at 6:30 Sunday morning. He had made my breakfast all by himself. It was perfect. I wondered how my Mom managed to gag down those huge plates of undercooked scrambled eggs. She hates eggs! I'll cross my fingers and hope for Cheerios each year.
