Notes From Heather: Summertime and the living is easy.

It’s summertime in the Yakima valley and with it comes that age-old conundrum:  How to cram all that the valley has to offer into just a few short months.

Between bike rides at the greenway, barbeque with the fam, camping on the weekends, lounging in the hammock, and (finally) finishing that book that’s been gathering dust– my summer agenda is filling up pretty quickly.  And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

In the Outdoors edition of Yakima magazine we celebrate summer:  the season for warm temperatures and endless blue skies, fresh produce and lazy afternoons.  And whether you plan to have your own downtown Yakima picnic, test out a new golf course or enjoy a martini outside during happy hour – we’ve got you covered.

Between lemonade refills, be sure to stop by our website, yakimamagazine.com, to catch up on the latest from our bloggers, read web-exclusive content and find great seasonal recipes.  And as always, send your story ideas, questions and comments to hcaro@yakimamagazine.com – we love to hear from you.

So, get out there and enjoy the season Yakima – summer waits for no one.
