First day of summer

Today is the first official day of summer! Yahoo! Do you have any fun plans for the season? I'm looking forward to taking breezy evening walks, drinking bright pink rose and squeeeezing back into my jean shorts. xo

  14. My Summer started last month! My husband and I took a trip to Austin, spent a week at the beach in St. Augustine, and have been working away in our garden. Next month we're heading to Colorado for a camping/hiking trip. Our city also has a ton of little music/art festivals all Summer long, so I'm looking forward to weekends outdoors, getting eaten by mosquitoes and trying to catch fireflies.
    Happy Summer!
