[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]While Memorial Day may mark the unofficial start to summer, today is the real deal. Happy Summer Solstice, ladies and gents. We reached 90 degrees in Boston, my hair was extra poodle-ly, I started sweating from my elbow creases while walking to get the mail, and my dog needed to be carried back inside after a short prance around the block. Yep. Summer’s here.
We celebrated the solstice– and more importantly, Tina‘s birthday– at the Liberty Hotel’s Yappier Hour this evening. While this may not be bulldog weather, Clark made the most of his time with Murphy and a yard full of other dogs. And a horse Great Dane.
When Clark hit the deck, we knew it was time to get the little dude back in the air conditioning. We’re enjoying the rest of the first day of summer with a big pitcher of water and a few frosty treats.
Knowing not everyone is safe and cool indoors during this heatwave, please be sure to check in on loved ones and those most vulnerable. For more information about helping the homeless during extreme heat, please click here.
What’s cooler than being a good neighbor?

We spent last night in our central air home looking at hotels for our honeymoon in Italy. And even though it won’t be super hot when we’re out there, we made sure every hotel has ac!

How is that Almond Milk Mint Chip frozen dessert? I’ve never seen it before but it looks delicious!

It’s quite good – not ice cream-good, haha – but a tasty substitute.
