The Lilly's

I love summer. I live for summer. Summer has been avoiding me. Until lately. After the first 3 weeks of a rainy June, finally the sun came a calling. The other day, Alex wanted to play with the water. Reluctantly, knowing the unavoidable outcome, I let him. Sure enough, it was a matter of minutes before he was soaked, but seeing the pure joy of a child running through the sprinker, feeling the sun on his back, reminded me of the pure and simple joy that summer brings me.

Dear Summer, I know that in just a few short months you'll be leaving me again. So I promise to enjoy every minute of you, go for lots of walks, go hiking, swimming, camping, and eats lots of ice cream.

Your adoring fan, Lana
