Why I Love Summer
I will admit that some seasons seem too long and some too short but I love the change of seasons. The beauty of green shoots after a long winter. Spring days that slowly give birth to long warm summer days. Crisp, cool fall nights after summer’s heat. Hot chocolate and fire in the fireplace during winter’s longer nights.
I agree with John Steinbeck who said “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
10 things I love about summer:
Helping Daddy
1. Sunday mornings spent helping Daddy with yard work
Tree Painting
2. Art projects done outside (less clean up!)
3. Hula Hoop practice in the yard
4. Messy ice cream faces
Let's Get Daddy!
5. Water Fights
6. Playing in the dirt
7. Beautiful flowers
8. Room to roam
9. Peaches! (And all the other fresh produce. Except beets.)
10. “Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
― Henry James

That messy ice cream face is the CUTEST! Mmm, definitely love peaches and all the summer produce, too. Have a great weekend!
Excellent series of photographs! Love the kids but especially like what you did with the flower pic. These make me think summer. Well done.
Love those kids – so cute!
Best part of summer in Michigan is most definitely the fruits and veggie – from farmers markets, to roadside stands – yum, yum, yum!
What a great post. I love it and your kids are adorable!
