Summer. How did that happen? School is out and we will be spending more time outside. More alfresco meals, more time spent sitting and talking, more time entertaining. Don't these inspiration pictures make you feel cool and relaxed?

We are having a cookout Sunday, which promises to be a miserably hot day, as it turns out, and I'm trying to plan my menu. For some reason I'm having a hard time deciding what to serve- I'm leaning towards a smoked pork shoulder, cole slaw, potato salad, baked macaroni and cheese, fresh corn salad, watermelon and lemon cake. It got me wondering, what is your favorite warm weather menu?
Can I just say that you guys are the greatest? Thank you all so much for your help and suggestions yesterday. I spent most of the day running all over (Bed, Bath and Beyond, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Calico Corners, Crate and Barrel) with no luck and ended up feeling more frustrated than before. Then low and behold, I check my email this morning and there is a message from The Company Store offering free shipping and I thought I'd check and see if they had anything and whaddayaknow? Why they have 100% camel colored linen panels for not much more than it would cost me to make them! I'll be ordering them later today and breathing a big 'ol sigh of relief that I don't need to worry about that anymore.
