Summer.








 Summer.

Our days are longer.
Morning comes and goes, but I still make time for that first cup of coffee.
It's dry out. And each day I keep my fingers crossed that it will rain.- So far we've been lucky enough to have a few rainy days.
My flowers are blooming, but need some extra love.
I fertilize when it's cooler, and water when it is needed. 
Water play, bike rides, and library trips are enjoyed.- I cherish all these simple moments.
I'm waiting for days to become a little cooler.
Ah, Summer, having you around has been okay, but honestly, I'm ready for cooler days to stick around.
❤

    I'm with you woman. Love your summer photos, but with temps over 100 every day here in Tucson, I'm more than ready for fall and winter to pop around. Do find a good monsoon amazing. Saw this post at The hearth and Soul Party. Happy Aug. and be well Stephanie.
