Hello Summer, Farewell Penners (for now)

This past Saturday we hosted a barbecue to welcome in the summer (hooray!) and also get together with our dear friends one last time before they moved back to Ottawa (*tear).  Last month we had new patio stones put in and planted some nice flowers in the garden that have since begun to blossom so it was a good time to have friends over.  The forecast, however, was threatening stormy weather and we did not want to have our bbq derailed.  

During the morning and early afternoon it rained, then turned sunny, then thunderstormed (wait, the forecast was correct??)  I was starting to get bummed out about the weather but luck ended up on our side and the evening was just perfect. Ok, a bit on the humid side but it was dry enough to sit outside and overcast enough so that no one got a sunburn :)  

Whoops, did we forget the chairs? Luckily we got some from our neighbours :)

Another outfit?? What a drooly baby.
I love this photo of Brigitte and Delia
Good food and good friends...the best way to start off the summer.  Brigitte, I wish you guys weren't leaving  so soon but I'm grateful we got to spend the past six months together on maternity leave.  Enjoy PEI this summer, and enjoy Ottawa as your home.  See you soon and miss you dearly until then!
