Summer blues

Will this be my summer?

I wonder every year on Memorial Day, will this be the year that I make the most of summer? Will I have those relaxing beach days, those fun day trips, those impromptu after dinner ice cream runs?

Will I have a romantic viewing of fireworks or dine alfresco? Will I make my plans and turn my summer dreams into reality?

Or will September sneak up on me yet again and leave me wondering why everyone else is excited to put on sweaters while it's still 80° out?

I know I'm off to a good start with leaving for my California trip on Wednesday, and hopefully I can keep the momentum up for the rest of the summer.

To those who celebrate, happy Memorial Day! Happy first (unofficial) day of summer!

  1. I'm so excited for your California trip! Mainly because I know it's going to inspire me so much more for my own - we just started planning our itinerary this weekend and there's so much I want to do. I do hope you'll be taking this dress along, one of my goals this month is to find the perfect maxi dress for our trip and I can just picture you wearing this one for a walk on the beach. How lovely would that be?

  14. It's so true before you know it, Summer will have passed us by once again. I hate that it always feels like the shortest season. I'm loving the maxi dress, so pretty.
