We all still love you anyway Babygirl:)

Friday Night

I enjoyed listening to the Dady Brothers perform at the Town's gazebo. 

I was accompanied to the event by my handsome son...

I enjoyed viewing the beautiful gardens...

and watching people...

while DJ enjoyed a root beer float...

and a Australian Sheppard puppy named Scout who, in turn, thoroughly enjoyed DJ...

Good music, a warm atmosphere and a cute puppy.
Ingredients needed for a great evening.

Enjoying Summer's Bounty

ratatouille

Blueberry Raspberry Pie

Fresh local corn

What's fresh and local in your neck of the woods?

Still...

 love my eyelet curtains and blue plates...

have not gotten a pedicure, but still love my tattoo :)

and even though it is in the 90s, I still love summer :)

Summer is...

sunshine, a good dog, a good tent, floats

and a pond calling your name :)

Happy July 4th!!!

May your day be full of good food, fireworks and fun!!! 

Now get out there and enjoy it :)

Hiking the Finger Lakes

The challenge  - to hike our way in and around the Finger Lakes this summer...

Assignment No. 1 - State Forest, Hemlock...

My fellow hiking enthusiasts - Dave and Violet...

(Snoop was on another assignment)

Grand trees...

Wet trails..
Of course, one must remember it has been the second wettest spring in Western New York history.

A well established old growth forest...

Combined with the sun and lush green leaves (as well as the company) made for a very enjoyable hike even despite the wet trails.
I highly recommend the hike.
However, I want to make it clear that if you do choose to go, make sure your footwear is waterproof - you  are going to thank me for this :) 
One down - nine to go :)
