Summer

Well summer is officially here and its come in with a vengeance. Only a week ago it was comfortably warm during the days and cool and lovely overnight. Now, the heat and humidity have arrived and it is totally summer.

Well I guess its OK because it is the end of June and it would be nice to be able to spend some evenings at the beach with a nice fire. I don't mind wearing sweatshirts but I really don't like to have to wrap up in blankets and shiver! So I see some beach nights in our future now. I'll make sure I have the makings of s'mores in the cupboard...just in case.

Summer is the best time to enjoy the children on our lives. With no school, i.e. no schedules, we can spend longer hours with them and they can stay up late and sleep the next day. When I was a kid I loved being out of school for the summer and I still love that feeling of freedom that summer brings. My schedule may be busier than normal, but with more daylight it feels as though there are more hours in the day and I love that.

Here's to a great summer!
