Being away from my computer and without internet much of this week kept me from greeting summer properly. As we say good-bye to spring and hello to summer here are some things that will make this season shine brightly for me!My First Top Ten List of Favorite Summer Treats
1.My new Crocs Athens sandals. Until I got a pair I had no idea how comfortable they were. I love their bright colors and it sure sets off the new pedicure !!
2.Colorful bouquets. I will never in my lifetime get tired of summer bouquets from the garden.
3.The America rose. It climbs, it is fragrant, and it has a beautiful color. JEJ caught a perfect photo of this bloom.
4.Annie when she talks to us about her day!
6.Shelby when she feels contentment just being near us. 
7. Lake Roosevelt. Here is a view through the trees by Barnaby Island last Sunday as we drove south down the lake.
8. The last, lingering sweet smell of the Mock Orange bush.
9. Going shopping for new plants for the garden.
10. Summer storms.
