Summer Was..........

 Summer was................

Tea in the garden

A river view for fish and chips

A treehouse for #1 grandson and time with #1 grandson.

I say #1 grandson, but he is the only one. A real treasure!

 
A drive in the country.

 
A miniature golf game with #1 grandson.

 
Tea in the gardenhouse on several occasions. The tea/gardenhouse will be put to bed next week for the winter.

 
A visit to my favorite antique mall. I debated about those tables, but one was rather wobbly.

 
The more tea with the TeaFestPDX event where I organize the British Tea Tent. Next year's event is already in the planning for July 13th.

 
A visit to Lan Su Chinese Gardens with #1 grandson.


Walks in several gardens.


 
More time exploring with #1 grandson. Do you see a pattern. Most Wednesday this summer I had the pleasure of time with #1.

Family dinner and a bit of play.

 
More time walking by water.


A bit of hiking among the trees.

 
Flowers to enjoy in the garden.

 
A picnic on Mt. Hood with my "live-in gardener".

 
Oh, did we ever have plums. There was plum cake and lots of dried plums now in the freezer.

 
The tallest sunflower in our garden.

 
A full moon.

 
Ziplining with #1 grandson.


More flowers in the garden.

 
Tea with friends at the park.

 
A wonderful adventure to Victoria, BC and the northern part of Washington State.

 
Afternoon tea at Butchart Gardens.

 
A walk in the gardens of Government House in Victoria, BC.

 
A visit at sister-in-laws beautiful home. Isn't her view amazing?

 
Another nature walk in Sequim, Washington.

 
Then ferry to Seattle, WA. and enjoyed a day of sipping tea with friends at the NW Tea Festival.
 
Summer was a delight of flowers, nature, friends, #1 grandson, and plenty of tea.
Hope your summer was full of delights!
Welcome Autumn!

It all looks wonderful, Marilyn. You got to see and do so many interesting things this Summer. I have to say that I love the photo of the table set for tea in the gardenhouse. So charming. And the purple fields is beautiful. The plum cake looks Yummy.

Have a good October week, Marilyn.
