Summer is upon us. Suddenly. Many would say, "finally."
It's been pretty perfect here in the Calvados region - days warm enough to hit the beach and even (if you're brave enough) get in the water. Nights cool enough to let the heat escape from the house and enjoy dining under the stars. Every so often there's a random thunderstorm that brings relief to the heat and humidity that precedes it.
Our neighbors went on vacation and left us the keys to their raspberry patch, making us promise to pick and enjoy as much as we could. Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers and melons from the market are enjoyed almost every day. In our garden the pear and apple trees are loaded with fruit. I'm already looking for recipes to have on hand so we don't let a single fruit go to waste this autumn.
Summer took a while to get here this year, but now I'm loving every minute.

Happy to hear you are enjoying your summer and the garden bounty which presents itself this time of year.
Gorgeous images. Just found your lovely blog :-)
Your very own raspberry patch?! That's the stuff dreams are made of!
Gorgeous, especially that impending rain cloud.
You have quite the garden on loan!
Happy summer!

More wonderful pictures! That dark blue door is both inviting and mysterious, and that's a terrific picture of a shelf cloud in picture no. 6.
Summer was late arriving but it's been worth the weight hasn't it? Those raspberries look glorious! A special offer at the farm shop has had me in the kitchen making raspberry jam, raspberry Bakewell tart, summer pudding...and still they keep coming! Enjoy your summer

We enjoyed it while we had it. Raspberries for breakfast and after lunch and dinner!

That cloud was incredible! We all sat and watched it roll by.
Emm
Is that what that cloud it called? Perfect name!
Sharon
It was definitely worth the wait! Enjoy!
This post has a strange mixture of beauty and sadness to me for some reason. Like I'm reading about a place I've never been but where I should be.
Here in Spokane we're enjoying a pleasant summer. We just had 10 days of over 90* temps. Still waiting on tomatoes here.
Elsa
I've felt that way when looking at photos, so I know what you mean.
My dad was telling me the other day that the weather had been hot in Spokane, but still no tomatoes. Hope they ripen soon.
