definitely summer

I think it's only in the mid-50s this morning as I write this, so it seems funny to look at these pictures and be writing about summer.  But that's Missouri for you.

popsicles and sprinklers

Early morning strawberry picking with Erin and her girls.
None of my guys wanted to go.
At first I was a little disappointed.
Then I realized how nice it was to have some very rare girl time.


Ushering in summer with pizza and ice cream on the last day of school

I finally have a Magnolia bloom!
I've wanted a magnolia tree forever.
Funny that I had to move to Missouri to get one.
It lost most of its leaves last year, and I feared for its life.
But some TLC has brought it back to life, and it has actually bloomed 3 times!!

It was extremely hot this day.
This was even around 5 and hot even in the shade (which is where I stayed).
They loved every minute of it.
Maybe I'll play next time too. 
Maybe.
