 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.

Ah, Summer, having you around has been okay, but honestly, I'm ready for cooler days to stick around. ❤
