The final countdown to summer

There I am. Basking in the glow of the sun on this beautiful spring evening in Gilbert's Agritopia community garden. I was there a couple of weeks ago taking maternity photos of my beautiful, friend, Brooke. (You can check out the photos I took for her over on her blog, here and here. ) Brooke agreed to snap a few photos of me during her session since I hadn't gotten a new headshot with my new, short haircut. Thanks, Brooke! 

That lovely evening reminded me that Arizona weather is not all bad. I think spring is my favorite season here in the Phoenix area. No way is it summer (for obvious reasons), fall is still too hot (and it's a little depressing seeing everyone else on social media with their beanies and hot beverages), and winter is just kinda ugly (but at least we can play outside without getting frostbite). Spring is where it's at! Seriously, there are so many flowers around here. I remember being absolutely smitten with all the flowers a couple of years ago when we first came to Arizona to find an apartment before our big move. Remember that I moved from southern New Mexico where flowers seemed to be few and far between. 

So yeah. I'll just be over here, wishing that spring will last forever.
