Staying warm and cozy

What a blessing to be able to stay home — warm and cozy — in such stormy weather.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m extremely grateful for days of heavy rain (though the intense winds were less appreciated).

It’s just that I’m equally grateful not to have had to get in the car and go anywhere in the midst of it all!

Summer nights

I’ve always thought the best thing about really hot summer days is summer nights.

When the temperature has finally dropped so you’re warm, not hot. But there’s a sort of thickness to the air, so you feel cocooned in that warmth.

I have so many lovely memories of hanging out with friends on perfect summer nights.
