We spent the most wonderful weekend up on Lake Summit with a bunch of great friends before we picked Walker up from camp. I can’t believe three week sleep-away camp has already come and gone. Lake Summit was like camp for adults which is my favorite kind of place. We sat on the boat house deck for pretty much the whole day- occasionally swimming, napping, reading, fishing, and lots of eating and drinking. Two of our group were in charge of lunch which were fabulous BLTs and really delicious cucumber soup. It was a perfect meal for a hot summer day. I had put my soup down while eating my sandwich, only to look up and see Sierra, a very sweet dog with maybe not the best manners, nose deep in my soup. It was so funny I couldn’t even be upset that she had eaten the rest of my soup. Here is Sierra’s favorite cucumber soup recipe- hope you enjoy as much as she did!
Chilled Cucumber Soup

1 pound cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced

Additional chopped green onions and snipped fresh dill

In a colander set over a bowl, toss cucumbers with salt. Let stand for 30 minutes. Squeeze and pat dry.
