Summer

mmmm, summer..... hope yours is wonderfully warm and refreshing. i am in love with blueberries lately, they have been so sweet the last two times i bought them. i hope you are finding things you love this july. here are a few things that I have been loving...

austin evenings...the days have been blazing hot, but the evenings have been the perfect temperature with a slight breeze - perfect for sitting outside.

ice pops...when was the last time you ate one? we had some on the 4th of july and it was like taking a step back to childhood. i bought some the next time i went to the grocery store...

going swimming...i rarely went swimming when we lived in pennsylvania. mainly because i worked a normal job during the day and didn't have or know anyone who had a pool. i am loving the fact that now there is one right next door and the fact that we have very gracious neighbors who allow us to enjoy their pool with them.

that first moment when you walk outside and the heat hits you...and it warms you up because you've been freezing in the air conditioning all day.

that first moment when you walk back inside from outside and the cool air conditioning welcomes you back....

things like green, green grass and blue, blue skies...

anything that smells or tastes like coconut....

avocados....i can't eat enough of them since we moved here...

even though it's way too early, i love the fact that the school supplies are already out because it gives me the notion that september, october, november and december are only a short time away....they are my favorite months, even if it's not the same experience in texas as it was in the northeast.....
