Busy Summer Days

This post is a catching up of what we have been doing during the past month. The weather is finally wonderful with long summer days. Late in June we went to visit Jon and Erin and spend a few days on the coast. We had a great time and brought home some new pictures.

Here we are at Wells beach, a little windblown! We have a cute shot of Emily at the beach too.

Bob came up to visit while we were there, and the cousins got a chance to spend a little time together.

Jon managed to get a photo of the three kids together.

Our next big adventure was the Maple Meadow Farm Fest where Gary displayed his artwork for sale. Here we have a picture of some people picking potatoes.

And the horses were there working the fields and giving rides.

We went to Houlton for the 4th of July. Jim and Jean were celebrating their 50th anniversary. Here Jean is cutting the cake.

And here we have the pair of them with one of Gary's paintings.

The family gathering was held at Brian's camp. Lots of Coles gathered and had a good time.

The rest of our time has been spent working in the yard and the house. Gary's flowers are beautiful right now.

This little shade garden is cool and pleasant. The larger perennial garden is a wash of color every day.

Summer has been a great season. Now we anxiously await a visit from Bob with Alex and Bridget!
