oh summer

I don't know where summer went. Seems like it was just June last week.  Life has been busy with getting ready for this baby, work and staying cool and I don't know what else! My camera, sadly, has sat on a shelf most of the summer. Life just feels like it's speeding by.

goodbye summer

 

  

Enjoying the last of summer. Enjoying the cool, quiet evenings and pretty scenery.  Sad it's going to be over but excited for fall and all it holds.  Goodbye to summer!

you're a peach

Peaches. ♥
Sweet, ripe goodness. Even better when they're home grown and you can just go out and pick them off the trees. The only thing I don't like about this fruit is it means the end of summer is here.

Can't wait to make one of my favorite recipes with them - grilled peaches.

last days of summer

I don't want summer to end. This summer has been so special.  Spending the summer beside my husband and best friend has been the happiest thing ever. I don't want the best summer of my life to end yet. I don't want the warm days to end. I don't want the beautiful evenings to go away. I don't want all the pleasures of summer to be over.  I know I'll be addicted to fall once it comes, but for now I'm holding on to the last bit of summer! September I don't want you to come yet!

It's been such a lovely summer. ♥

the summer night

 

 

 

The summer night is like a perfection of thought. -Wallace Stevens

 A long walk at the end of the day...exchanging thoughts with my sister. Enjoying the beautiful countryside - so grateful that I can see it and enjoy it.  Reflecting back on the day... my favorite moments, favorite words, missing someone awfully bad, wishing I could re-live part of my day. If only I could see ahead what consequences and effect my words and actions will have before they're said and done. Grateful for a new day tomorrow - a tomorrow with no mistakes in it yet. Another chance to live, love and enjoy this beautiful life that I don't deserve.  And tomorrow means being back with my husband.  

And that makes my heart so happy ♥

summer evening

One of those summer evenings where the weather was perfectly cool, the wind was blowing ever so slightly,  I had a awesome sister to hang out with,  the sunset was pretty, the sno cones were amazing, the popcorn was free and the fireworks looked like glitter! Small towns are the best.
The only thing that would have made it better would be getting to enjoy it with my love.  Everything is better with him ♥
