Awaiting Summer

I found this cute picture and it made me realize that I am wanting summer to arrive more than ever! It seems like the winter months have been dragging on and on, and while I love the beautiful winter snow, I could do without the freezing cold east wind and the pounding rain. We like to spend a lot of time during the summer months on our family's boat on the Columbia River and when I saw this picture it made me think of Nicholas building a sand castle with his cousin, Alex. Maybe I will even be lucky enough to get a photo similar to this one during the summer months.

I am counting down the days to summer...I have to admit, while I adore the spring, I would happy to skip to 80 degree days, flip-flops, and tall glasses of lemonade right now!
