I've Decided I Love July

 I used to dread July and her evil twin August.  The jury is still out on August, but July has won my heart.  Maybe because she is nestled in between the craziness of the beginning of summer (June) and gearing back up (August).

Maybe it's because she dons herself in stars, stripes and sparklers.



Maybe because she brings forth the colors of her Creator




And wraps herself up in family gatherings.
 She woos me with her vine ripened delights and hot summer nights.


She gives us reason to celebrate


 Yes, July has won me over with her s'mores, fireflies, afternoon thunderstorms, and long lasting twilights.
 I am smitten.

    Yes...there are many things to appreciate about July! I loved your post and your colorful pictures, showing life in July! :)

    We have many family birthdays in July, and a couple of special anniversaries. Add that to the Fourth of July and the blessings of living in America...and I would say it is very good indeed!
