This past weekend has been wonderful. Birthday celebrations, plenty of good food, nice company, an outdoor game or two, amazing weather, and several interesting as well as relaxing outings have made this year's summer solstice truly memorable. My mother-in-law brought the beautiful peonies shown above. A huge thank you to everyone who visited us!

The weekend has definitely not been hurried or stressed out, but life is even slower right now as T. and I are relaxing on the sofas, enjoying the left-overs and watching Time Team.
