Summer! Summer! Don't go!

Well, September is barreling down upon us. September. How did that happen?

Still, it's warm out, which means we're outside as often as the mosquitos will allow it. I tell you, that front porch was worth every penny. We sit and watch the kids play, greet neighbors passing by, read books and magazines, and just visit. Rain or shine, we love that porch of ours.

Things continue to get settled in the house. The chairs we ordered for our master sitting room arrive next week, so I'll post pictures when they come in. We've gone back and forth on getting a new headboard but to tell the truth about it, I'm a bit shopped out.

{Did you hear that? It was the mister shouting halleleujah! at the top of his lungs.}

Being shopped out, though, means we're still sporting temporary window coverings. My, how those paper shades do hold up. It also means the landscaping continues to consist of pine straw. Just pine straw.

All in good time, though. For now, we'll settle into our back-to-school routines, linger outside a bit longer even as the daylight hours grow shorter, enjoy the last few swims of the season. Summer hasn't left us yet.
