Illustration Friday Submission: Topic - SPARK

This week I LOVED the Illustration Friday topic. 

Farewell My Summer Sunshine.

The last time I checked it was September. Wow. My how the summer has flown. 

We barely had time to get to know it's sunny, bird chirping days. But no complaints 

here, this summer Dave and I got married and honeymooned in the Keys. My best 

friend came from Australia to be there and my sister was home with her baby. Its been 

a few months of unforgettable emotions and life changes that have proven to be the 

best decisions yet! 

As these last few days of summer come to an end, nostalgia washes

 over me. I watch everyone return to school and I remember that feeling of 

anticipation and independance. And as the days grow cooler and pumpkins start 

popping up on road side stands I remember falling in love with Dave, those 

days of falling where your heart leaps at every touch and your lips are forever curled 

in an unapologetic smile. Here is to a great Summer and the beginning to a cool 

exciting fall ahead.

Chasing fire flies in my dreams tonight

In Lou of the rain outside my window this morning, I thought I would leave you all with something a bit more reminiscent of summer... I remember catching fire flies and thinking they would survive in a jar like my hamster did in her cage... wouldn't it have been lovely to have a jar full of "lightning bugs" as your night light!? Oh summer, come back to us.
