summer recap : 2010

Everyone keeps posting on facebook about Summer coming to an end, which kinda makes me sad to see my favorite season go, so I decided to write a list to remind me of all of the wonderful things no matter how big or small that I loved so much about this Summer.

• Adding a new flower garden w/my hubby and watching it grow

• Trying out lots of new BBQ recipes on the Weber

• Getting a new boat and fishing with Jeff and my Dad on his boat

• Being in my first art show

• Being a part of the 1st Maker Faire, Detroit at The Henry Ford in Dearborn

• Making some new artist friends

• Seeing the Yellow Finches & Hummingbirds in the garden!

• Getting accepted into Yellow Door Art Market

• Relaxing up at the cottage on Drummond Island

• Starting to work on my new studio space

• Salmon fishing in Muskegon

• Shooting lots of garden photos

• Watching our little nephew play soccer

• Cruising in the convertible in the evenings especially to my favorite place

• Fish fry's at the Tiki

• Having another great 39th birthday

• Drinking coffee on the patio in the morning & watching the sun come up

• Finally getting a hammock stand!

• Fresh basil from the garden & making pesto to last us all year long

• Bike-riding with Gigi

• Hangin' out with Jules & watching fireworks rooftop!

• Making blueberry scones with fresh, seasonal blueberries
