a tribute to summer

Well, friends this is the week that we've been waiting for...school's out and sweet, sweet summertime begins! In honor of one of my favorite seasons (let's face - they're all my favorite seasons...I'm just a four-seasons-kind-of-girl), I present a collection of summer beauty seen through the eyes of a lens. Enjoy!

an alfresco snack on the deck - homemade brioche bread topped with Ma's applebutter

meandering walks through history

 picnics in the park (note for all you history buffs: this is quite literally the spot where Washington crossed the Delaware)

 sweet daisies - it's impossible not to feel a little happier in the presence of such bright, little flowers

 green thumb success! the peas are growing!

 tomato season...there's nothing quite like a sun-warmed tomato right off the plant

walks through enchanted woods...minus the ticks...

the golden light of an evening on the farm
