It seems summer is just getting started over in my neck of the woods, so it seems a bit strange to start packing the summer frocks and unfurling the wardrobe for Fall. But I know in a blink the short summer will be over and Autumn will arrive with no more fan fare than a sudden shift in light and a shortening of days. 
Jumping for Joy: Bella + Mary leap for joy while Boyfriend captures the moment on camera.
Right now, Summer is in full bloom, gardens are just gearing up for a fruitful (and vegetal) harvest. Berries are at the peak of juicy ripeness, and the days are equal parts delicious land, sand and bluest blue of sky. Daylight lingers to almost 10 o'clock at night, and we humans are greedily using every hour. There is much to savor in this short sprint of a summer.
I'm in the middle of busy season for me- a mix of entertaining friends from out of town, celebrating weddings, hanging with the boyfriend and working as much as I can muster. And getting situated in a new place so there's a queue of "to do" and not really as much time as I would like to get stuff done. Thankful for the long days, and the energizing boost of sunshine.
Also thankful for the creative outlet of this blog, and you dear readers, for indulging me.
And now for a big thank-you and shout out to my sponsors, because, without their support, I wouldn't be able to spend as much time as I do on this blog labor of love.
THANK-YOU:
