Summer

Summer is winding down...

I'm actually glad... I miss the fall... I'm tired of my room being a greenhouse while I'm trying to sleep during the day... seriously it's so. effing. hot. in my room

One of the downsides of working the night shift I guess...

...but before summer fades away... I'll post some lovely pictures I was able to take of a recent, impromptu, dinner party we had on our balcony a few weeks ago...

there are few things greater than an evening with some good food and great friends

As requested by my roomies, Katie and Sam... (my roommate Sam had run a half marathon that day!) I made my homemade lasagna... and berry oat crumble for dessert...

We had some good wine and blueberry water... an idea I got from here

We sat outside in the warm summer air with candles all around and white lights draped above us...

We put our old wine bottles to good use and stuffed our cheery sunflowers in them...

We even busted out the marshmallows and made s'mores over a small bucket grill that Katie had bought... just for an event like this...

(no one tell our homeowners association... or we might just get kicked out... we already recieved a letter about the lights hanging on the trellis... oops)

Good food... Good friends... Good times

Is it just me or did the summer seriously fly by?
