Boat Club Evening

Yesterday, Dewey, my mom and I hosted some of their neighbors at the boat club.* We had a wonderful time, which isn't surprising, since we always do at that magical place.

{Someday, when I am a grownup with my own garden, there will be lots of flowers just like these ones. They always seem so summery, no?}

The slide is my favorite part of the whole place.

We stayed until well after sunset (and the two-year-old's bedtime), eating barbecue and talking about gardening and crazy landlords. It was a lovely evening, confirming my new suspicion that late summer may be one of my favorite times of year.

*Whenever I talk about the boat club, I feel compelled to explain that it's not nearly as fancy as it sounds. It is magical, yes, but fancy? Not even a little bit.

  6. oh i far prefer magical over fancy. :) really though, i love boats. i used to wander down to the docs in san francisco and pick out a boat that would take me on imaginary adventures that day. some friends of ours had sailboats so i got to have real life adventures from time to time and i loved it!! someday i hope to have my own small sailboat, like the ones in your photos.
