Summer awaits. So do we.


We rented a house in Long Island for August, and the owner graciously offered us the house for Memorial Day. I was excited before, but now I'm dying for August to get here. We all are.



This is one of two screened-in porches in the house. It sits on a small lake - you can see it in the distance.



This is the small private beach on Long Island Sound, about 100 yards from the house.



Lila was a little concerned when we told her that we were going to "the beach house". She pictured sleeping on the beach, and since she was small, the ocean has always made her nervous (though that was the Pacific - made me nervous too). So now we call it "the club house". She's fine with that.



Turns out, it doesn't take long for the beach to win her over.



And guess who likes to eat sand?



It's going to be a good summer.
