Hot, bright and sunny. 

And good ole’ July gives us an extra couple of days of sunshine and heat to celebrate. 🙂

I took pictures of the front patio and yard this morning while the grass is still green and the flowers still bloom—for they won’t last much longer as we head into the dead-dog-days of summer.

Have I said before how swiftly time seems to pass? That’s because I’m constantly reminded of the fact. So I bite my tongue and hold back the words—I’m ready for fall. I know better than, you know, wish my time away.

But I love fall and look forward to it—especially in 100 + weather! So I do yard work in the cool of the morning, then I’m free the rest of the day to settle into my comfy chair in the blessing of air-conditioned comfort to work on book three of the Valley Ridge series—and wait out the fleeting days of summer.

Book 1, Trespassing On His Heart and Book 2, Love’s Tender Heart are available. (Amazon )

How do you deal with the long hot days of summer? 🙂

Blessings on you, keep cool and keep God in your plans!

Until next time—Mary signing off with 🙂 🙂 🙂
