I just love that song and thought it would be the perfect title. I could continue singing but I’ll spare you this time. For the record, I continue to embrace summer and am gradually admitting that I actually am enjoying these days. <\/span>Did I kinda just admit I like summer? <\/span>Think I did. <\/span>Yesterday at 3:30 pm it was 76 degrees with the most beautiful blue skies and I\u2019m finding the summer months to be quite enjoyable. <\/span>It\u2019s never been a steam bath when I open the door to go outside and the evenings are always nice and cool. <\/span>Sure we\u2019ve had a few warm days but nothing like the summers I\u2019m used to. <\/span>I still can\u2019t believe that. <\/span>As my Bobby states, this is like \u201cwinter\u201d in Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:state> and that\u2019s no joke.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As I was on my way out the door to run errands I spied this deer in the yard.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a little noise to get his attention and he just looked at me like this.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The weeds continue to grow.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our wild flowers\/weeds continue to grow and I\u2019m still as mesmerized with them as ever. <\/span>I\u2019m not used to wild flowers lasting this long into the summer but they continue to flourish. The pictures above and below were taken from my yard yesterday afternoon.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I would like to get some shots of the beautiful butterflies that I constantly see but haven\u2019t gotten around to it yet. Oh yea, I would love to capture the cute little chipmunks too. <\/span>We keep seeing them all over and they are so much smaller in real life than I thought. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know, I know-wwwa I\u2019m still sounding like a rookie up here and that\u2019s because I am. <\/span>I\u2019m still amazed at all the little differences in nature than I\u2019m used to. <\/span>And it seems each new season brings with it new and exciting things for the eye to behold.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m on a summer kick folks, look out!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
