summer days...

summer days have been lovely...

we've enjoyed simple days with friends and family

when time to create is short

I can always squeeze in some snapshots of things that amaze me

such as the lush landscape where I like to ride my bike 

 or this brilliant and wild sunset one evening in June

 

 it's been a cold and rainy summer...perfect for curling up under a blanket and  watching a favorite film or two :)

our summer apples always have to be processed right away...some times I make a lemony-cinnamon apple jelly, this year I just made applesauce to freeze, as they were ripe the same time we were packing for travel....

 

 we took a little family vacation on the North Sea...it was COLD! but gorgeous

 - more pictures soon....

I've missed my blogging friends and I promise to stop in soon to say hello!
