Summer Sixteen

June 20, 2016 By Lena

It’s finally here! SUMMER! And it arrives with a blaze in Toronto, reaching temperatures of 41°C with the humidity this afternoon. Hands up if you’d rather be running through a backyard sprinkler today!
13402308_634847196670543_894784101_nI’m putting up my “Out of Office” for the day, whipping up some homemade popsicles for the kiddos and fruity sangria for the adults. Wishing you all a wonderful start to the work week, and to summer!

    We all made it through the snow & blizzards to this glorious day, the first day of summer!! Let’s all enjoy it while we can before we have to break out the snow shovels again!
