Today Dishing: Is it Summer Yet?

With summer just fifteen days away, Spring has finally arrived.  Because Spring was the so late in coming all the work associated with the season is now just getting underway.

If you're like me the planting,  the weeding,  and the cleaning of the outdoor furniture is finally getting underway. In a frenzy to get the work accomplished and still eke out some outdoor Summer enjoyment, my house is a work in progress.

The newly painted pool is finally filled only one month behind schedule.
                                      
My garage is a construction site due to work being done on the entire second floor of the house. It will take weeks before all the sawdust is gone.

Luckily, the garden produces blooms despite my lack of attention.
                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                           
To greet the season and be prepared for iced tea and homemade lemonade, I bought a case of lemons.
 
Let's face it, the work is never done but we must give ourselves over to the season and take time to enjoy the warmth, the sun, and the outdoors because one thing we know for sure, this too shall pass and in the cold of January these days will be mere memories.
