Welcome to Summer!
FROM THE EDITOR The carefree days of summer always seem to slip by so quickly. Even with the relaxed tone of the season, our days are full with trips to the beach, backyard barbecues, and family get-togethers. Entertaining, whether simple or extravagant, is enjoyed much more during the warm weather months. With this issue, we have embraced the essence of the season by showcasing days spent canning summer’s ripest fruit and crafting up easy summer projects. Then we hit the beach with a visit to a charming seaside town and a gorgeous picnic right on the ocean. And that’s just a hint at what we’ve been up to … there’s much more ahead for you in this issue. May your summer days be filled with sunshine and memories.
