It’s cold, wet a dreary outside and I was just commenting to my husband at dinner tonight that if it were summer right now our day wouldn’t be nearly over. After dinner we’d pack up our family and head out to some yet-unexplored trail in the middle of some lush wooded reserve and bask in the fresh air. Instead we’re looking out the window at the dark outside, damp from the constant drizzle that winter offers. Soon we will be going to bed, only to dream of summer days. So as I sit here reminiscing the sunshine I decided to go back to some of my summer sessions to share them with you (I can’t believe I never did!), to maybe remind you that these sunny warm days aren’t gone forever. Hopefully they’ll be back before we know it.
