Welcome Summer!

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

Henry James, American author (1843-1916)

Meteorologists may beg to differ but for me the May 24th holiday marks the beginning of Summer. The Victoria Day weekend signifies that it is now permissible to wear white summer dresses and shoes. Hurray! because it's certainly warm enough for light cotton sheaths! It's also time for outdoor lunches with friends and after-dinner tea on the patio, watching the evening shadows lengthen. Welcome Summer!
