::Summer Love::

-

It's going to be a hot summer, I can feel it! Weather has been in the 90s lately. I bought all these lemons for Kaylee's photoshoot but since we have to reschedule the shoot because of the rain, I love adding them in sweet tea.  Oh I guess sweet tea is a east coast and southern thing because I never drink it when I was living in South Dakota. People just don't order a sweet tea when they go out to eat, they order a pop (soda)

I love that strawberries are so cheap in the summer! I don't like to eat them alone, I either dip it in with a lil salt or I like to spread Nutella on them :)

I love having fresh flowers at home.

So mint leaves grow like weeds! Our neighbor planted these for us in front of the house last Spring and they keep on growing. We now have unlimited supplies of mint leaves!

I love adding the mint leaves in spring rolls!

Can't have summer without fun nail colors with cute sandals. (these are Madden Girl sandals)

Sunglasses are must have for the summer..even for dogs! ( no? ok maybe just our dogs then)

I dont drink enough water so I make it up by eating lots of watermelon!

Cheers to a happy summer!

    Your doggie is such a good model..I mean look at a pose and that facial expression. The star is born!!

    Oh yes I can feel that it is going to be a cruel summer here where I live. Some days the temperature is already in the 100s...yes!!

    Do you use TotallyRad for most your photos? I am tempting to purchase but then I have to buy another PhotoShop to support it. The photos on your blog are always artistic and out if this world beautiful.

    I'm blown away each time I come to your blog and see your photos. They truly are amazing and wonderful to look at. Strawberries with nutella, sounds delicious {going to try that very soon} and you can't live without ice tea down in the south. And those spring roles look divine. Looks like your summer has started off very nicely xoxo

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
