summer, week 2

it feels like we have been living outside this week...which is never a bad thing

our week included

wrap up to the summer swim season

enjoying longer days by the pool with library books

watching a rainbow of colors emerge from the garden area

embracing the opportunity to celebrate friends

‘We get 18 delicious summers with our children. 

This is one of your 18. 

If that’s not perspective, I don’t know what is.’ 

-Jessica Scott.
