We wait all year for the magical season of summer. After at least five months of winter and the hibernation that ensues, we are ready to get out and own the nice weather that we feel we've earned.
Often we aren’t just reconnecting with our yards and gardens, but also with our neighbours and barbeque. Our living space begins to extend to the outdoors like a yearly tradition, with a hurried pace to get everything set up for this short but beautiful season.
This great season also offers plenty of summer dinner options. An abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables makes summer cooking both exciting and delicious. A platter of ribs, corn on the cob, lemonade and strawberry shortcakes makes a perfect summer menu great for a family dinner or entertaining friends!
Design-wise there seems to be a resurgence of the retro palette with the introduction of old fashioned lawn chairs, fire pits, patio lights and the porch swing. A bright colour scheme modernizes these accessories and it’s not long before our outdoor space becomes a cozy living room under the stars.
I wish you a happy summer. Enjoy and Relax.You've earned it!
