…But I’m almost afraid to say it out loud! I don’t want to jinx us. Today was HOT and sunny and gorgeous, and we spent the entire thing outside with our friends who are visiting from the Twin Cities.

They were so kind to want to help us get some of our seedlings in the ground. Laboring under the hot sun is a lot more fun with good company.

Well, some of us worked hard…and some of us just laid in the sun…

We didn’t work the whooooole time. We walked to the Farmer’s Market in town and made some delicious meals together, which resulted in some colorful compost {too bad I didn’t snap any shots of the meals themselves! We were just too darn eager to eat….}

There was time for grad-school homework….

And we even snuck in a couple naps and quiet reading time….

LOOK at those apple blossoms! They were floating down all around me while I was laying there, every time the breeze rustled the tree. Paradise.

And they make the house smell heavenly.

Now, we’re off to take a dip in the big lake to cool our hot bodies before dinner. Happy Summer!!!
