the lovelies | endless days of summer

we began summer with a brimming board of ideas. bursts of imagination that would loosely lantern our way through the simmering months.

what it became was a way to create space around the daily monotony. routine tasks. everyday expectations. and when we wiggle into marking something off the board, we feel giddy. and bolder. drenched with desire to sock away a few more.

utah was fertile ground, offering us more than enough to do. and that update is long overdue. . .

we hiked. and hiked. with our senses willingly hypnotized by the earthy smells + sights + sounds of the wild. {and i am still musing over that moose. . .}

we weaved down an alpine slide, soaking up gorgeous glimpses of the unfolding valley below our tippy toes.

and, then, there was the museum. the children’s museum. sort of sweet splendor having props to really rally the imagination. . .

with only a few weeks left until we are on the other side of the season, we are full-tilt squeezing as much nectar from what remains. . .in celebration of these lovely, endless days of summer.
