I love summer.   Today was unbelievably hot, by far the hottest day this year.  We spent the majority of the day, no, we spent ALL day inside the house all cooped up because it was so darn hot outside.  I found myself getting frustrated that we spent all winter waiting to go outside and then summer finally comes and it’s too hot to go outside.

But tonight, I just had to get out.  I started weeding my garden.  And then I started sweating.  And then my daughter came out to talk to me.  It was very sweet.  I picked up my camera and captured summer.  Right there in my yard.

We moved into this house on July 1 of last year.  Last year at this time, our yard was dirt, mud, weeds.  It has come a long way.  I love that when I see my house, I see summer.

This was my daughter’s third outfit today.  For no other reason then to change clothes.  But that’s okay.  I don’t mind.

Summer sprinkling is always a necessity.

And you know what else screams summer to me?  WEEDS.  These particular weeds remind me of when I was younger.  Back then I thought they were wonderful flowers.

But no.  Just weeds.  Really cute weeds.
