Summer Holiday

I took some time off over the 4^th of  July holiday week to visit my sister in-law, Rena and her family in Utah. Our plan for the week was to play in her studio, learn some new techniques and enjoy our time together.

I arrived early enough the first day that we were able to visit some favorite haunts in Salt Lake, and we even managed to have time to go to Snowbird for a late lunch.  The Utah Mountains are so beautiful.  The smell of fresh air, the surroundings were green and lush, the streams flowing from the snow run off all made for a charming back drop as we ate our lunch and chatted.  It was such a delightful day!

 Not sure, but I think they're beavers...

What I've Been Up To...

I decided to bring out the copper again.

Stand by,  more to come soon...

A Walk In the Park

Please don't feed the ducks...

Summer is in the Air

Well almost.  We have to make it through June gloom first.  What is June gloom you ask? The gray marine layer which settles along the coast and several miles inland which usually burns off by noon.  Those who live in Southern California beach cities all share this same hazy experience.  Then, summer finally arrives, and it’s hot, then we wait for the coolness of Fall.

Although Spring is filled with warmer days, and bright flowers,  Summer is still my favorite season.  I love the longer days of light, being outdoors, walks on the beach, outdoor concerts, hanging out at sunset, barbeques, floating in the pool with my husband, hanging out with family & friends, vacations, anything else we relate to the summer months.  As far as the heat, well we are fortunate to live somewhat close to the ocean, usually if it is hot during the day, it cools down at night.  Summertime is a  happy time...
