summertime

The first day of summer is here. It seems as if we have been thinking and talking about this day for months now. And it is finally here!

Now it is time for berry picking, swimming, beach trips, suntans, freshly squeezed lemonade, lazy mornings, countless bike rides, baseball, grilled dinners, watermelon, fresh vegetables, blooming flowers, and one of my most favorite things on earth (which by the way is not only enjoyed in summertime, but is now only more justified!).

I hope to be writing in this space much more this summer as now my time previously spent focusing on formal academics is now available now for things like blogging, beach-going and drinkings numerous glasses of iced coffee throughout the day whenever I feel like it just because!

First stop- a trip to Philadelphia this weekend. Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Franklin Square, the Betsy Ross House, Elfreth's Alley and Valley Forge. What a perfect start to summer!
