Hello friends! I realize that those outside the lovely Pacific Northwest have been experiencing summer for quite some time now, but around here, we were beginning to wonder if it was ever going to be safe to make outdoor plans. Seriously, it’s JULY and we hadn’t entirely de-winterfied our patio yet and I wasn’t even shaving regularly. But huzzah! There is a solid week of proper summer temperatures and sunshine in the forecast so we finally got busy.
As impetus, we had an impromptu 4th of July gathering. Apparently, almost no one had plans for the 4th, and what started out as two families turned into a good sized crowd. So obviously, we had to get the yard spruced up. I finally got all my pots planted, and we put up our garden lights and what not. Usually these tasks would have been completed much earlier in the year, but the aforementioned never-ending winter prevented this.
We were able to offer our guests a possible view of the fireworks. Possible, because we haven’t lived here over a 4th yet. I’m pleased to report that our house is even more awesome than we already knew! We have a kick-ass view of the airshow and fireworks over Tacoma’s Freedom Fair. Woot! The airshow was actually pretty mindblowing. It seemed like those jets were only a couple of hundred yards outside my window doing all their Top Gun flips and shit.
Anywho, just a small post to say, HOORAY FOR SUMMER!!!
How brilliant to have that view! What more could a little boy ask for hey?! Hooray for summer too!
Huh, good point, it is finally leg-shaving season.
Hurray for summer indeed!!
