Wow – summer finally started in the Seattle area today.

I was at my son’s supportive community and they decided to pull out the sno-cone maker machine – talk about bees swarming to honey! This treat was much appreciated by all and the campus was buzzing with activity.

This is what true community is about – being able to participate and have fun with your neighbors!

Even with the lure of sno-cones, the residents who garden with me were excited to pick the first of our snap peas – they are like candy to some of us.  The tomatoes and corn were planted, too.  The gardens will be in full swing very soon!

Our blueberry bushes are amazingly abundant with berries – can’t wait until it’s time to pick them.  Look at this photo that was taken last week after a rainfall.  The bush can barely hold itself up due to the weight of the berries!
