Beach Time

OBX 



Soccer friends at the beach.

GOPRO footage edited by Alex. (I'm not sure where that last frame comes from.)
The end of the rainbow at 6:30.
Surfing at 7 PM. I turned my back and he'd gone off the board. The fin caught him.
Next rental house is going to be closer than 40 miles to the hospital. Of four kids three have now had trips to the ER. Good news, this year we were the only customers at 8:30 PM. Five staples later.
No more water for this guy. The water was pretty flat the following days so not good for boards but the water was great for the boogie boards which I ride.

We Like Ike

Meet Ike, a Wheaten/Lab? mix little boy. He arrived home Memorial Day week-end.

 Incredibly calm.
 First bath with his people.

Summer Garden

Summer is here. We've had good, sometimes too good, rain most evenings and everything is green.


 Kitchen counter flowers
 Cone Flowers
 Hibiscus
 Hydrangea
 Lily
 Bee Balm
Needless to say the weeds are also doing very well!
Visit Today's Flowers #353 to visit other gardens.

Peony Passion

The peony patch with Mom's plants ....
The  garden is in full bloom, just in time for a party.
 Cured salmon (salt, brown sugar, dill, vodka)
 My sister's deviled eggs.
Mixed berries with Honey Custard (4 egg yolks, 1/4 C each honey, white wine-sauvignon blanc, 1T white balsamic vinegar, 1C heavy cream, whipped from Southern Living) and meringues made with the leftover egg whites. An easy make ahead treat.
 Peony arrangements in the house....
 The season is short so we are enjoying peonies every minute, everywhere.
