The Longest Day

Happy Solstice! We celebrated by going for a late evening walk with the dogs. We started from our yard and headed for the distant pond you can just barely see in the center of the picture below, via a more roundabout route than straight across the field.

Here are some pretty meadow views along the way.


The boys. Our place is across the field, but the buildings don't show through the trees.

Saffy knows where we are going and leads the way. What is she so eager to get to?

Oh, a muddy bit of pond to wade in! A special treat for a Labrador!

The pond is really quite pretty and peaceful. There were deer tracks, but we didn't see any actual deer, probably not likely with two dogs.

After everyone was wearing some pond water/muck, we headed for home.

Saffy started walking right behind me as she got tired.

I waited for the sun to set over "Zucchini Henge", but was not visited by the Great Zucchini or anything special!

The sunset as seen from our back property line.

For a cold treat, we had fresh sorbet I'd made earlier in the day. What flavors do you think they are? Do you guess green and yellow summer squash?

No, just kidding! The yellow is peach-mango and the green is kiwi. Both delicious, if I do say so myself ;)
