Summer!

I am done with my class and have been enjoying my time off before I start my pollination job, and I am loving my summer- that carefree time with fireflies and laughter carried on the breeze, picnics on the beach, birdies flying across a badminton net. . . ahhh, I could go on and on.

To celebrate the end of the summer semester, my roomies and I had a James Bond-themed party with decorations, costumes, and hors d'oeuvres including swan puff pastries. We had a whole flock of them! Today a group of us enjoyed a picnic on the beach of one of the local lakes, and this coming weekend I will be meeting up with some friends from the previous year at college to go camping at exotic Nebraska! Whoo! Hey, although it isn't incredibly majestic like the Grand Tetons or Glacier National Park, at least I'll be getting out of Iowa for a bit, and who can pass down camping?

I have the feeling the rest of summer is going to fly past before I can truly enjoy it all, but that is life. Have a great weekend!
