Soulemama's Friday Ritual. I am joining in this week.

Summer, Oh Favorite Season of Mine

What is there not to love about this season? Brown/red shoulders, chubby baby bodies shimmied into tight little bathing suits, plastic pools and dinners outside... I wonder if sumer would be so fun if it happened all year long? Somehow I don't think so, but I can't imagine why...

We just got back from a trip to see my family in Texas and from a close friend's wedding in California only to find the last vestiges of Spring burned into green greeness here in New Jersey. Funny that I likely would not have noticed it had we not left for the month of July but seemingly all colors merged into one in our absence.

There is much work to be done around this cozy little, messy little place of ours. Vegetables to be harvested (cucumbers! tomatoes! even a pepper!), lawn to be mowed, lots and lots of old but new now toys to be played with. Ahhh, summer, please hang around a while...
