Cutting up strawberries for short cake.

Father's Day Swim

After swimming on Father's Day. Ahh. . .

Sunburn - Ouch!

Someone please remind me to use sunblock! (I'm only smiling because I've had 2 Hop Suns already, and no dinner. I almost didn't feel the burn anymore.)

Storm Watching

Our dog, Zak, loves to look out the window. A fast moving line of storms entertained him for a short while this evening.

Gernaniums

Every year, we order flowers through Kiwanis. Every year I ask for dahlias and every year Matt brings home geraniums. Last year it was a mixed bunch of white and red, but this year it was all red. Oh well.

I plant them in groups next to the teeny-tiny rose shrubs (too small to call a bush). Normally there would be a fourth planting in the middle there where it looks bare, but I decided to put that grouping of geraniums in a planter just around the corner so people had something to look at as they came up our walk-way. I have visions of putting in other plants to fill in this little garden, but knowing me this will be it.

Nick dean and the chocolate vodka white russian he made me. Nick rocks the socks!

Beer Cake!

Making a caramel porter chocolate cake for my mother in law's birthday and mother's day.

Out on a Friday Night

King rail at the wine cellar in Jamestown.

Yes. I know it's dark. I was trying to drink a Southern Tier Raspberry Wheat and not be too distracting to the band with my flash. That and I'm too lazy to go back and edit it. LOL
