What I loved about July

Independence Day fireworks. Quirky passengers on the public buses. Walking around a beautiful college campus. Whipping out turtlenecks and jeans while the rest of the country is sizzling hot. Planning a vacation. Laughing with my mom. Playing Kinect for hours on end with my sister. Biking on a river trail. Sunsets. Sleeping late and waking up late. Obsessively cleaning up my room. Wandering around downtown Seattle. Eating up to six nectarines a day. Writing a story. Watching the final Harry Potter. Rereading and rereading the Harry Potter books. Reminding myself irresistibly of Petunia Dursley when I wipe down the bathroom counter twice a day. Loving my family. Laughing so hard I cry. Living.

those stars burn like diamonds.

Here are some snapshots of what I've been seeing around for the past couple of months. The weather has been gorgeous! Hope you're having a wonderful summer.

 

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Fourth of July. Hope it's a good one!
