♥ in your own backyard.

as much as i adore city living,

there is nothing better than returning to the suburbs

to enjoy mother nature in her full splendor.

nick and i spent our weekend cooking out and hanging out in his

family's beautiful backyard, where there are all kinds of flowers blooming

around every corner, delicious vegetables stretching their vines,

and humming birds darting in and out of the delphiniums.

sometimes it's nice to sit quietly and listen to the trees whisper,

watch the birds take flight and the clouds go by. i don't do it enough.

such a good way to celebrate the beginning of summer,

which (by the way) is today.

HAPPY SUMMER!
