SUNSHINE (view sampler here)

The promise of summer is a measure of hope. We eagerly await all that its sunshine brings: outdoor living, picnics and trips to the sea. Let's make the most of it. Set a table in the garden and sit out with friends, long into the evening light. Stay up late to see the stars, or rise early and run in the dew on the grass. Tend your vegetable plot but take time to smell the roses. Gather for a midsummer celebration with the best of the season: fresh cheese, honey and homegrown berries. Your glass is always half full.
