June

I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.

-L.M. Montgomery

Summer is here and filled with blessings. The kids are out of school. The days have been filled with glorious sunshine and our evenings with baseball. Thanks to this months models, Grant, Ella, and Madison. I hope you all come back and see me soon. What beautiful children.

July

Lovely July...with the evocative murmur of honey bees on the wing and the smell of sun tan cream.
-Cynthia Wickham

Summer is my favorite of all the seasons. Yes, the humidity can make it brutal but there is nothing like the summer sun. I swear it makes me high. Make some time to find a spot with cool water or a shady nook and relax, it's too hot to work hard!

Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas; they are in your own backyard, if you but dig for them.-Russell H. Conwell
I found these two gems next door.

Spring models

A great big thank you goes out to all my spring models.
From toes to tea parties, we had such a great time. These are just a few of my favorites. Check back soon for some June Birthday Princesses
