Taste of Summer

The temps have been unusually warm and we even have had 'humidity' but that's not what's telling me summer is right around the corner...  

As we drove past Coon Creek Park there below the road in the park one could spot benches laden with towels and clothing, surrounded by tennis shoes and boots. 
In the creek's water kids were cooling off the from the day's 83 degrees and humidity.
This is a great watering hole if you haven't tried its great current.


A heavenly aroma's wafting in the air and it's those lilacs. We have three varieties,  the old fashioned one which barely bloomed but the Dwarf Kim Lilac and the variegated bloom one made up for it with oodles of blooms.

 And the farmers are busy with the first haying...  



 We have started eating outside to enjoy the fresh air but have to now eat on the screened in porch to not be eaten alive by those voracious baby deer flies who will only get bigger...

All yes, all these are signs of summer on its way into the End of the Rainbow Valley...
