Summer's End?

Yesterday we celebrated my daughter's birthday. A few days late.
A brunch at a lovely scenic place.

When I say my daughter's age I think how can that be true? How fast the years tick by. And our lovely grand growing up by the minute!

 
It was mimosas and yummy meals all around.  

Then long time friends invited us to a boat ride and dinner.
I tried to catch all the loons together. There were 8 loons together which is rare. But I wonder if they are getting ready to fly south for the winter.

This is squam lake. There was a haze from the Canadian wildfires in the air. But the colors are starting to turn and it was a warm lovely evening, and perfect company who could ask for more? 

This popped up on my facebook account. When our grand was born not long after my husband got very sick and needed a bone marrow transplant so for our Sweet B's first year she thought we lived in a computer because we were quarantined. She is two here I think or not quite and we are apple picking. 

 
And this was yesterday with these two. She is our one and only and the love of our life.

I have fun plans for later this afternoon. Hiking with my sweet friend. It is a gorgeous day. And tomorrow I am going to a talk on herbal practices and a tea. So the summer weather goes on for us here. No complaints from me. I could take this weather all year round but we know it will not last so love it while it is here.

I am still moderating comments so you will not see your comment come up immediately but it will show up later. 
Have a wonderful week!

Happy Birthday wishes to your daughter. I love the photo of the three of you - three classy, beautiful, women. I also really love the photos of your husband and Miss B - especially the apple-picking one when Miss B was little. There is just something about wee ones holding hands with not-so-wee ones. You sure do have some wonderful outings and adventures. How I wish my days were so filled. We have some wonderfully warm weather here too this week...probably some of the warmest of the entire summer. But with it, came some storms and I paid a price Sunday morning. Eeek. ~Robin~

Isn't Squam Lake where they filmed "On Golden Pond"? How beautiful. And what a lovely daughter and birthday celebration. It's simply lovely. What a terrific way to celebrate! Have fun with your friend. I'm off for a few days too!

Happy belated birthday tp your daughter.
How wonderful the marrow transplant was a success and the two of you get to enjoy retirement together.
Our weather is glorious, too. Warm days and cool nights. Like you, I would love it to always be like this, but we both know better.
