Summer Solstice

Yesterday was Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. It also happened to be one one the nicest days we've had this year. It felt a little like Summer realized that it was time to show up to it's own party.

It was nice to sit outside and enjoy how beautiful our yard has become. The garden is finally having some activity too. Little green tomatoes on the plants, and flowers on our pea plants.

Even the dogs seemed a little happier.

We finished off our longest day by having some friends over for a BBQ.
I love these kind of days. All the kids playing outside, the smell of the BBQ, good food and some cold beers.

Usually when I say "that was the longest day" it's not a good thing. It means I couldn't wait for the day to be over, and nothing seemed to go right. This longest day was nothing like that.
