Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin’

Posted on July 30, 2014 by treshabarger

Tuesday we recorded summer’s first 100 degree day at the house. This definitely turns our minds to ideas on how to keep cool.

I love cold watermelon.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s good for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

What we want is shade and lots of it.

Shade, shade and more shade.
