Ah, summertime, a chance to exhale, enjoy nature and the company of family —- this includes pets, such as Daffy the peacock, below.
A tradition that my wife’s family has to mark the summer is having a crab feast. Maryland blue crabs are, especially, delicious & the kids get excited to see the alive in a basket.
It took me a while to get used to the cruelty of steaming them alive in pot over boiling water but, eventually, I got around to it.
It’s a social event, primarily, a chance to talk, drink & enjoy the outdoors. Crabs are delicious; but it’s a lot of work for little meat. I prefer a crab cake, anything.
When we’re done —-hours later—- the kids will hop into the pool.
While the grown up kids, us, will crank up the music and dance —- even if it’s raining, as it was yesterday!
Hope you’re enjoying the summer, your way, in whatever corner of the world you might be :)
Cheers!
