Summertime

Oh, the livin' is easy. I have recently learnt of the term 'summertiming', coined by the lovely Lucy of Berkley Illustration fame. The definition: a helpful word to summarize all the picnics and barbecues and mini-golf adventures you've been going on. It really is such a perfect word to describe the past few days we've been having here in Vancouver. The weather has been fantastic, lots of sun and blue skies, with a bit of wind to make it not too humid and sticky. I do actually have this week off, but even when I don't the weather just makes me feel holiday-ish. We've been eating on the balcony, visiting the farmers market, going for neighbourhood strolls and drinking wildberry lemonade. Here are a few peeks into our summertiming expeditions...

From the top....cottage roses, the houses of W. 6th hiding in the industrial area, wildberry lemonade and sweet bannock for Canada Day, spicy black bean burgers on the balcony, sweetpeas and farmers market bounty, wisteria, hand rolled tortillas (that I'm getting quite good at if I do say so myself!) and fresh salsa, me taking a break under the wisteria (and looking naked at first, until I realised that black part was my left shoulder).

I hope you are enjoying the weather wherever you are!
