the magic of summer

summer does magical things.  it makes time slow down, applauds messier homes, puts peaches in everything, has no set bedtime, instigates library adventures, inspires goofiness, allows for fly-by-the-seat-of-one's-pants experiences, permits cheesecake for dinner, encourages chalk dates with dadas, promises never ending naps in the cold ac, makes for tired puppas, and it does strange things to hair.  like transforming straight brown locks into bouncy blonde curls.  that happened. 

i love the slow drip of adventure that is summer.  it's so syrupy sweet i cannot get enough.  and frankly, i don't want it to end.  i love the thought of waking up and thinking to myself, what kind of fun are we going to get ourselves into today?  read books for hours? go to the park?  the pool?  the market?  the mailbox?  or perhaps just to the couch to soak in a new flick.  or maybe just eat watermelon on the patio for an hour or two and call it good?  or simply stay in our jammies and not shower until...tomorrow?  

the possibilities are endless and the freedom is unparalleled.  i suppose i am a little sad knowing that this time i have with stella is in fact going to end.  but that's what makes this precious time we have together so special and profound.  summer is just so magical.  i thank my lucky stars that i get to experience all of it's goodness each and everyday.


happy weekend to you and your loves!  now get out there and enjoy summer!
