Happy first day of Summer Blendfriends! I share with you a picture of a sunrise I took on Sunday.

This week for our East vs West challenge at work, they’re continuing the theme of taking pictures of the sun rising or setting, but the weather looks to be rainy and gloomy for most of the week here, so I wonder if I’ll see the sun long enough to capture it on camera.

Another task in our challenge this week is to cook/bake/make something that reminds us of our childhood. I’m curious to know what food/drink/meal brings back great memories of your childhood? I will attempt to make a slushie. I remember as a kid going to the neighbourhood convenience store, called dépanneur here, to get a Slush Puppie. I’ll try to make one watermelon and strawberry flavoured.

In honour of Summer starting, I leave you with this quote:

" Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time." —John Lubbock
