soak up the sun

With the nights getting shorter and August thunderstorms abounding, we're trying to make the most of our summer days. We were able to cross of two more things on our Summer To Do's last week. Tuesday we walked up to Red Butte for dinner and yesterday afternoon we convened on the back patio to watch a storm roll in. Steph served up huge slices of watermelon for breakfast on Saturday, seeds abounding, and we spent the afternoon at the pool. We watched Phelps and the boys late into the night last night and I slept with my windows wide open, the fan on full blast. It's true what they say: the older you get the faster time flies.

Along with Fall cataloges and Brigham City peaches (thanks, Mom) I've the hankering to hold onto every last bit of the season. Here's to more star-filled nights, more dark rolling clouds, more chats - bed, porch, and poolside, more live music, more ice cream pie, more dinners on the patio, more Olympic golds, more sun-kissed shoulders, more Saturdays spent outside - chores undone, more nights at The Lot, more Sunday talks in the grass on Yale...Here's to soaking up every last lazy bit of summer.
