Just another picture blog to show why I love summertime... Our newest family member: Smokey Lonesome!

The table is all ready and rarin' to go...

Love, love, love those blue skies...

And the way the sunlight catches my wind spinners...

I wasn't going to plant any flowers this summer, but I love red petunias, they're my favorites...

I just like this picture...I've been collecting pinecones all spring as they fall off my tree...

And this is our neighbor, Buster...he knows he's too cute for me to scold too much for being on the table...

All good things must end, here comes the bank of clouds rolling up the river from the coast...

My plethora of bird houses, feeders and my old rug that needs to get washed one of these days...

Windsocks...

And I get a peaceful, easy feeling....

My garden runeth over...

Cute little girls named Sasha...

Big ol' baby boy dogs named Puppa...

And one lazy, gettin' some sun girl cat named Dave...

Tis the season for Shrimp Salsa http://allrecipes.com/recipe/shrimp-salsa/detail.aspx

Smokey Lonesome...

And last, but never least...my bench! I've always wanted one, but, for some reason, would never part with the money to get one. The neighbors that abandoned Smokey Lonesome sold me this super cheap and it was in really rough shape until Bob refinished it for me...I can't wait to sit there with that Anthony Bourdain book that RockyMountainKat sent me...

Have a great month of June!
