June flew by! This is one of my favorite months of the year. I love the summer storms, the bright-green trees and grass, watching my garden explode, and everything coming back to life in full force. The summer nights are so amazing too! Sitting in my gazebo reading a good book is particularly enjoyable this time of year. We have been very busy with summer preschool, gardening and my 60 Day Blog Post Challenge!

Ellie’s first day of summer morning preschool, good thing Meow was there to see her off (sniff, sniff…they grow up so fast!!!)
