This was a fun assignment that I probably spent too much time on, but I had a lot of fun creating these little collages with my free Paint.net program and found it really relaxed me.  I also noticed that I have really slacked off taking pictures and have made a mental note to take more.

Our summer consisted of the usual all-American pastimes of ballgames, cookouts, fishing and camping, and just the everyday warm weather activities. We had a few interesting encounters with snakes and experienced the birth of kittens. My daughter learned all about horses while working on 2 Girl Scout badges with a neighbor and we all were blessed by a visit from my husband’s sister.  I thought it was a wonderful summer spending time doing the things we love.
