Photo Contest!

"What Summer Means to Me"
Lazy mornings, good breakfasts (cause there is time), pulling weeds, playing at the park in the morning, swimming in the after noon. Otter Pops, popsicles, ice cream, watermelon, hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ Chicken, mom's potato salad. Road trips, visiting relatives, family reunions, water parks, playing in the sand at the lake.
Afternoon thunderstorms, windows open, the smell of rain and freshly cut grass. Dandelions bouquets from my kids.
I love summer!
