Sunflowers on our porch this summer
How I’ve neglected thee!
The summer has gotten away from me it seems, and Fall is upon us! Well, almost. There are still quite a few tomato days left in the year, and in our neck of the woods the thermostat is still reading into the 90s most days. But the kids are back in school, the apples are ripening on the trees, and the nights are getting cool enough for a blanket. I miss the smell of New England Fall that lingers in the air in the evenings at this time of year, but hopefully an upcoming trip to Portland, Maine will cure that.
Before Summer 2011 does slip away, here are a few images from how we spent the season. Though I do miss the East Coast, it’s hard to complain about living amid such glorious land and cityscapes:
Hiking the Rubicon Trail, Lake Tahoe, July
Swimming at Candy Rock, July
Weekend in San Francisco: Morning in the Mission, August
Weekend in San Francisco: Lunch in Japantown, August
Camping at Young Lake (10,000ft), Yosemite, August
Backpacking in Yosemite, August
Tourists in Yosemite National Park, Glacier Point, August
Tufa formations at Mono Lake, CA, August
I’m enjoying reading your blog, Becca! It’s great! The pictures, the recipes- I love it!
