I love: exquisitely scrumptious banana bread with chocolate and cinnamon sugar and watermelon for breakfast. I especially love it when said exquisitely scrumptious breakfast was prepared the night before while watching a movie with my husband. I love a cozy porridge-y breakfast, and I really, really love poached eggs and grits. But not having to get up and make breakfast on a summer morning? Mmmm, priceless.

I love: when someone suggests tea before bed on a stormy summer evening (I love summer thunderstorms, by the way), and my wee ones and I snuggle down in our cool sheets with our warm tea for some favorite stories (this book was mine when I was wee, and I just love the illustrations beyond explanation). What a lovely way to finish off a summer day.
