There’s been so much that I want to say this summer and especially in the last month, but I have just been wanting to hold onto all of the moments for awhile before blogging about them. This summer went by in such a whirlwind that I barley had time to think about all the recipes I wanted to create and all the blog posts I wanted to write. But you know what! I’m back now and I’m ready to rock it, because as much as I love summer… I am obsessed with all things fall!
Before we get into fall and everything pumpkin I wanted to close out summer with a fresh, summer salad. The weather is still relatively warm here in Colorado but I can tell that it’s not going to last long! This watermelon salad will use up that watermelon you bought for Labor Day (or maybe before, who am I to judge) that you haven’t used yet. Or it will just give you an excuse to eat one last beautiful, juicy watermelon!
I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that it’s SEPTEMBER. But, once I get my head around that I’ll be doing a Wedding & Honeymoon recap. We got our wedding pictures back and they are OUT OF THIS WORLD. It’s going to be hard for me to only pick a few for a blog post.
I hope everyone had a summer full of adventure and lots of laughs! Fall is coming and I am so ready.
