Sum-Sum-Summertime

What a hot weekend we had! The weather was so nice. We got to play outside and do water balloons (well, Matt and the 3 oldest did them). It's been beautiful weather. I just can't believe that the middle of July is already here. It's so crazy how fast this first half of the summer has gone. What I've loved about summer so far:

  • The delicious fresh fruit .... especially cherries and berries .... it's so good!
  • Not having to get up and get the girls off to school ... it's nice to have relaxing mornings
  • The warm weather .... I love flip flops and short sleeves
  • Grilling for dinner .... Saturday we came home from errands and grilled hot dogs and ate outside .... it was so nice.
  • The kids can play outside all day if they want .... that's fun for them and quieter for me
  • Flowers .... my front porch is in full bloom ... it's so pretty!
  • Fresh air ... I love having the windows open in the morning with the nice breeze coming in

This is just a lovely summer! Matt has a week off in August and I can't wait .... we will be going to the ocean and doing other fun things.

Before we know it, summer will be over. (Fall is my favorite season though, so I don't mind it!)

WOW! Your flowers do look beautiful. What did you plant in your planter?

petunias, alyssum, begonias ... and the light green is some sort of waxy small leaf ground covering ... it's perennial so will stick around after summer.

There is nothing better than summers at home. It's what I miss most. I can even visualize in my mind how the mornings feel there- I just love it. Ugh- just thinking about it makes my heart ache for home.
