In the summertime when the weather is high

It seems as if summer is here. We have had four days in a row without rain and the last two have been so sunny and warm. And it was the weekend.
A great weekend. Jude came on Thursday and we went to see Fred Eaglesmith at the Grandview Stage. We got all kitted out with a backpack full of raingear, umbrellas and bug spray. Had the buffet supper out there, then over to the concert - they have a stage in a field. But no rain and the mosquitoes were not even that bad. And the concert was so good. Oh Fred.

I was the only one who had to work Friday. On Saturday we went out to the historic site to see the powwow, which I enjoyed so much. It was beautiful out, again not many mosquitoes. I have wanted to go to a powwow for a long time but did not really want to go out to the reserve. And it was so cool to see all those dancers in their gorgeous costumes, people of every age dancing. I bought a pair of beaded teepee earrings from a little girl who made them herself and another pair of earrings from one of the vendors.

After we got home, Jude had a nap and Geoff and I were sitting on the patio enjoying the sun, when Heather showed up. She had felt like going for a drive so went out to lake and stopped to see if we were around. So she stayed for supper and we had a great visit, which is really the only kind you have with Heather. One of her sons is getting married in August and it looks as if it may be a bit of a family reunion so we are looking forward to it. Barb says she will be there.

Jude left after brunch and Geoff and I spent the afternoon out in the yard under the apple tree with our books. I kept looking around and thinking how perfect it all was. Tim came over, all scraped up from a ball tournament. We just kept sitting and visiting, it was so great. If only the whole summer could be like today.
