Those lazy, hazy days of summer...

[Marianne]

Here in Nj, it went from sub-zero to 102 degrees while I wasnt' watching.

Today however, it's a pleasant 80 something (well, as pleasant as 80 something can be...)

So, I took the opportunity to take a few pics...

If the neighbors whine, they can talk to me in private...

Finally, the weather is comfortable enough that I can actually leave the door open for my cat can have fun ( see the second pic), although it's time to buy myself a newer digital camera.

I'm thinking there could be a series of captions here, something like:..

pic 1. Hope springs eternal, there is a whole new wide world out there.
pic 2. Even if there isn't, there's always beer and a good friend.
pic 3. and when he falls asleep, there's always beer
pic 4. problems can be solved, you gotta problem?

(bonus points for whoever spots the razor burn...)

You look wonderful, Marianne, and your home looks gorgeous!
Yeah, I agree, this weather can't be beat. I just wish summer lasted just a little bit longer (like maybe, 6 months longer :) )

Tristen, you gotta hear the story about the time Marianne and Priscillla went out for a few beers and skit shooting...

Seriouisly, Marianne, it looks like a wonderful afternoon. We have to take advantage of such opportunities to enjoy. Thanks for sharing your pics.

New camera?? Those pics are fantastic! Love the outfit. Did just about the same thing today. Now waiting to be called into work. Ugh. At least we both had a great afternoon.

Nope, don't see any razor burn. Not anywhere. Unless the cat is hiding it.

Hugs,

Melissa :)

Those are extraordinary pictures. If this is an example of summer then let it be summer all year around :)
