Thank you Paige! This string was written with wishful thinking as I watched the fog roll in day after day! Looks like the tide is slowly turning! Yeah! Thank you for sharing my summer day with me. Blessings.

Dearest Jennifer, your lovely message was like a beautiful summer day - a warm gift and a blessing. Always love hearing from you! Thank you!! The weather has been so unpredictable this year. We had one of our wettest winters on record! There is still snow in the mountains. The resorts just closed! We are, just now, getting warm weather. Can't wait to hear what Mother Nature has in store for your summer - could be interesting! Sending you bunches of blessings dear friend!

Hi Anne-Lise! Thank you for your lovely compliments! Hope your weather starts to clear and get warmer. I remember rainy summers in the NW begging the clouds to leave and the sun to return! Hugs and blessings!
