* A blue cake with colorful chocolate coated sunflower seeds for my sweet niece.
* A summer afternoon with cousins.
* Champagne boats each with a fresh picked raspberry waiting to be filled with Prosecco. We were toasting the sale of my childhood home and celebrating the newest chapter in my parents' lives.
* A late summer afternoon at town beach.
* Our cheery black eyed susans tell us that summer is waning. Happy last August weekend to you, my friends.
