long days

Apparently it's July.

I've gone to New Orleans for a conference:

There was a 4th of July parade and fireworks with friends:

And a million other things in between: lost teeth, first garden offerings, introducing all of our friends at a BBQ, long afternoons at the pool, s'mores on the stove, reading Harry Potter out loud, thunderstorms in the morning, piles of fruit for dinner.

Summer always goes by so quickly. But this time we're along for the ride.
