lovin' summer #1

Summer in Arizona is an experience. It seems no matter how long you have lived here, summer always comes as a surprise. And typically we complain about it. About the heat. And the extremely dry weather making wildfires a reality. And about our higher electric bills. And then a bit later in the summer it's the monsoon storms. And having to fish patio furniture out of the pool after one of them. Or clean the pool after a haboob. Really, the list is endless.

I have decided that, for me,  this year will be different. No, I cannot control the weather (if only I could!) but I can control my attitude. And to that end, I have decided to find as many things to love about summer as I can.

So... to start the ball rolling...

I pass at least two school zones just about every time I leave my house. Not only do I not have to slow down for the school zones during the summer, there is also waaaaay less traffic around the schools, especially during drop-off and pick-up times. It's a DOUBLE BLESSING!!

I LOVE SUMMER!!!
