 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. ❤

Nights are cooler and the sun shines perfectly.  We spend our time out on the porch.- Our daughter blowing bubbles and splashing away in her pool. My husband grills and I kick my feet up and enjoy these moments with my family.  Lately. Nature is absolutely beautiful. Rainbows appear after the rain and fields of flowers blow gently in the wind.
