My Summer Porch

Time flies.  It's almost Labor Day weekend, which somehow heralds the end of summer -- and if you're a student, the last weekend before going back to school.

This summer was memorable: morning glories were growing on my porch!  Even more astonishing was that it survived a week-long drought.  Yes, that week that the vines relied on three big Aqua Globes and rain for sustenance.

This summer was the first time I got in the Sand Dunes.

This summer was the first time B took me to a canoe trip down the Pere Marquette river.  The first time I was in a canoe!

This summer was also the first time I was in Europe.  The first time in Italy.  In Rome.

Now morning glories will forever remind me of the summer of 2011.....

Yes, that's the view of my porch.
