I Heart Summer

"Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year."

-Robert Frost

(A Prayer in Spring)

Warm weather. 

Pools. 

Sitting on my butt.

No work, for a week. 

Cookies. 

America's Got Talent. 

Laptop. 

My Birthday. 

My summer is amazing. Thank you, God. 

If We Ain't Got No Tolls, We Ain't Got No Rolls!

Robin Hood: Men in Tights, one of the best movies ever. [If you're lost: my blog post title came from the movie!]

Lately, since the weather has been so nice, I've been taking a LOT of photography with my amazing camera! Last week, my mom and I went on a walk and I took my camera. We took our dog, Luna along. 

I also got the chance to take pictures of our neighbors hyper, car-chasing dog. I don't know his name, but he's  beautiful. He would have been an even better model if he stood still. 

At one point, while we were walking towards the 'Downtown' area, so I could take pictures of the old-timey shops, we were visited by a sweet, gray cat. He let me pet him, then as soon as he was done, he strutted away. This cat was also a natural model. He'd stop and pose, and my word, his eyes were amazing. It's like they had a voice of their own. 

It was a nice walk, full of fun photography!

Also, the other night I decided to take pictures of a few of my stuffed animals. I have this HUGE, old baby crib that is full to the brim with stuffed animals. Let's just say I use to be a stuffed animal enthusiast.  :]

WunderMunkee, my super hero.

Sock Monkey! One of the three my brother Aaron made, long ago. He had one without eyes, one without ears, and the other without a mouth, which is the one I have. 

Rosie or Rosey, depends. It's strange though..., I've always seen it as a guy dog... 

Most of my stuffed animals don't have names because I can never remember them all. This is one of them. xD

There a plenty more, but they will do for now. 

Finally, I show you pictures of a warm day, with flowers blooming everywhere.  

I'm loving this weather, a lot. It was in the 70's today, if I'm right. Oh, how I miss summer and it's lively ways...

And, yes, a few of the photos, the ones from the walk, were edited for a little better lighting. :]

The time is here, hip-hip-hooray!

The weather is amazing.

It's beyond amazing.
It's just plain out wonderful, beautiful, inspiring and happiness. :]

This weather makes me so happy. I hate winter, with a passion. But this weather, now this weather, just makes me want to smile all day long. All day.

To make it even better; today was pay day.
Today, I sat on the back porch and felt the wonderful weather while doing schoolwork.
Today, I motivated, cough cough, my mother why she worked out at Curves.
Today, I got Chinese Take Out for my mother and me and we ate it out on the back porch, with candles lit.
Today, I got to stare a beautiful, bright orange moon.
Today, I get to walk the dogs at night, in good weather.
Today, I might get to watch a movie with my mother.

Today has been a good day.

I find that simple things can make your life happy, and so do great, big things, of course.
We all know a pinch of this and a pinch of that makes the best recipe ever.

I feel spring in the air. I do, I do, I do.

Lia.
