Pinkish hue update: So happy that there is a “cool down” happening right now. Well, if you consider upper 80s, low 90s cool. It was a little toasty this weekend, even the pool water was a balmy 93 degrees, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying it.

What a weekend

Tomorrow I will attend yet another fabulous Des Moines summer event – Metro Arts Alliance’s 30th anniversary of Jazz in July concerts. The Belin Quartet will be rockin’ the grounds at Terrace Hill (pics from last year) and I can’t wait to sip some wine on the east porch and listen to them play.
