Happy First Day of Summer!

In southeaster Michigan we welcomed the first day of summer with clear skies and temperatures in the mid-70's.  Since I was in my office most of the day working on my Lucille Ball / I Love Lucy presentation for this Sunday, I opened the window to let the summer breeze in.

How did you spend the first day of summer? Prayers for those along the Gulf Coast threatened by Tropical Storm Cindy.  

June is National Iced Tea Month, and the month is quickly winding down, but there's still many days to enjoy the refreshing beverage.  Below is an iced tea picture I took for a magazine article I wrote, and the 2012 blog post can be found by clicking here.

Thanks to those who e-mailed me privately about the Southern Belle Tea Tour that I blogged about yesterday.
