Long weekends.

Perfection.

Somehow, in the marvel of Alberta weather, the August long weekend is always fabulous. And I don't just mean nice weather. It is breath taking.

View from my hammock.

This past weekend was stellar. Hot, calm weather all three days? I mean, come on! Perfect weather to spend out at the lake, waterskiing and floating on the water, or sitting in a hammock. Or, when you positively cannot stand any more sun (as happens a lot for me... the joys of being a pale red head) watching the Olympics and eating blueberries.

Beauty of a sunset.

Beautiful weather, great friends, good food? Heaven on earth.
