Last Days of Winter's Summer

Back at the homefront, we relaxed on the patio,

 went to the pool

hung out in the hot tub (can't imagine doing this much in summer! ) 
I got to visit a local quilt shop briefly, and was able to get some fabric for some special souvenirs...more on that later.

 and drove to a neat town that, again, we'd have loved to have spent more time.

 we ate lunch hurriedly at this restaurant, where I got pictures of my grandson's favorite ferns.

We had a lot of gorgeous sunsets - this is one - special for us as we were to leave the next day.
