things I like

For some reason, I don't want to let go of the idea of warm summer-days this year.  Every year and right at this point when summer is kind of fading away and the cool breeze rolls into the city, I usually feel excited and inspired by the arrival of the Fall season and its beautiful colors; not this year. I'm longing for more sunny days, and sunshine and summer scenes like the ones below in my pictures. Not ready for layers yet. Not ready for cold days. But we live in the northern midwest area of the country and seasons don't play around here, they get on time and do their job. I won't complain much, still three full weeks of summer (with grandma and grandpa) and to be fair September is a gorgeous month in Madison as well. Some pictures of beautiful Madison in the summer. Good week to all. Peace and good health, friends.

First of all: Summer is flying away, right? We are all feeling the same, aren't we? Only four more weeks of summer break for us. It is already August and how this is happening so fast..... at this point we start counting down until we get to the first day of school and the beginning of Fall. We already got school supplies and the district has already sent its calendar of upcoming meetings to meet teachers. Yep, summer is almost gone. But for us, the month of August still holds a big surprise. A big moment I have been waiting for years, many years. It marks one of the most yearned moments in the last decade. My dad is coming to Madison. After a long time without seeing him, my dad will be here in about a week. He'll meet his grandson for the very first time and this is making me really, very happy. I don't even have words to express what feelings I'm feeling right now. We have written many lists of what we want to do, where we want to go, what we are going to ea
