Summer Solstice

The longest day of the year was a beautiful one on Chappy. Unfortunately, I spent most of the day in my office, but when I arrived back on Chappy it felt like summer was in full swing. Mom, Dad, Timmy & Beau arrived yesterday and Dad put up the flag this morning. So here are a few pictures to ring in the summer. There is nothing I love more than driving down the driveway on Chappy on a sunny summer evening. It's a bit like unwrapping a present. First you see the golden light peaking through the trees and then the beautiful blue (or if your late enough pink) sky and finally water!

In honor of birthday week at the Filley/Gosser household, here are a few snaps from Oliver's birthday dinner. We all stuffed ourselves on delicious spaghetti with Rae's famous tomato sauce and Joanne's awesome meatballs, so Brad and Oliver took a quick break to make room for dessert. Oliver is sporting the mandatory birthday tiara along with the super cool new shoes he got from Rae.

Luckily we didn't get all the storms in the forecast this past weekend and Sunday was another lovely day with clear skies. I got back to Chappy late in the afternoon to find Woody and Joanne in the garden working on this week's post! Here are some of the beautiful blooms they captured.
