I believe Summer may be here!

Today's weather was such a relief from the rain and coolness we've been having here in Portland. Thank goodness for the sunshine and warm air! So, we took advantage of it.

My Mom gave me a beautiful pot of carnations than needed to be transplanted, which meant going to the garden center for me! Yea-hoo! Fortunately for me, they were having a sale and I was able to invest in some pots and additional marigolds to brighten up the back porch.

While planting the pots, it occurred to me that Matt and I should bust out the yard chairs and sit outside for dinner tonight. What a great idea! So I cleaned swept and dusted... creating a cute little veranda for the both of us.

So tonight we have flowers, BBQ, drinks (Dark & Stormies) and great company! Cheers for summertime!
