Summer was................

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?

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!
