Sweet Melodies

We are getting super excited about the long weekend ahead…filled with good friends, great music, camping, cookouts and lots and lots of fun. Hope your holiday weekend is memorable as well!

We’re especially delighted to get to see this gentleman play under the stars on Friday night. Here are two sweet songs: “Cotton Lullaby” and “Choccolocco Two Step” by local artist Tony Yardley.

From the first summer we moved in, a few old toads have come to hang out each night by (and sometimes in) the pool. Not all have survived us. Dogs got one, cats got another. And someone ran over a big one with the car. But these stoic toads keep coming back every summer — probably to catch bugs under the outside floodlights. Mike even bought them a little house.

Last summer, a young man from our town took this visiting toad experience to a whole new level…creating custom hats for one patient, and obviously fashion-forward, amphibian, in order to help cheer up a child who had lost his pet toad. He only shared the photos just recently, and they spread like wildfire overnight. Since posting, over 1 million curious folks have clicked to see the toad millinery. Read all about the Toad and his Hats on BuzzFeed.

‘My time of year’

Because today is July 15th, which means summer is halfway through, it got us reminiscing about this little classic from War, which peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the Summer of ’76.

…’Cause it’s summer
Summer time is here
Yes it’s summer
My time of year…
