We went to a Scottish Festival on Friday night. It was a lot of fun, and it was also very cold! We have been having rain, and 50 degree weather, despite the fact that it’s JUNE! As you can see, this merry group of kilts and bagpipes are getting all wet.

Also, we got some treats that they don’t sell here in the states. Why we don’t get to have things like this in our regular shops I will never know, but Nestle, start selling Aero here in America please!! This is the mint version and it is so very tasty.

There was also a very fun concert from a group called the Wicked Tinkers. They rocked! It was really high energy and fun, even if we were totally freezing cold. We even had our winter coats on for heavens sake! Because it was cold and raining, a lot of the shops weren’t open and we didn’t see any Highland games either. We did have some fish and chips though! And no, we did not eat haggis.
Usually we use the weekend to work on home improvements. We really wanted to get started on the back patio area, and finish our French door project. It’s shameful that the French door project still isn’t all the way finished almost 3 years later. Does that happen to you too? You get a project done enough that it’s no longer a problem, and thus it ends up sitting forever? Please tell me we aren’t the only ones.
When you do you usually work on your home improvements? Are you weekend warriors too?
This weekend we aren’t working on projects, but spending quality time having fun with family. The house can always wait, some things are much more important. I just hope the house doesn’t end up waiting forever.

Summer has arrived in our neck of the woods, and with it, dreams of a gorgeous garden. So of course this image caught my eye.

Isn’t this garden amazing? I especially love the fountain. I have always loved fountains and dream of having a beautiful fountain in our garden someday.

Nothing like a fun hike in the canyon with my hubby! These wildflowers were growing all over the place. Not sure what they are called. It’s such a gorgeous time of year, everything is still green. Soon it will all turn brown because of the heat, but for now, the mountains are putting on quiet a good show.
