I don't know about you, but it seems like I read more in the summer! I know it's not technically summer yet. But it sure feels like it where I live. Supposedly this time next week temps will reach 112°. Yikes!

Things I love about summer:

Cherries. I love to eat lots of cherries. I anticipate their arrival every year.

 

Harvesting my apples and other garden stuff.

 

Plus I like long, sunny days and a break from homeschooling. Although this year I won't get a break since one of my kids is behind. :(

Things I Dread About Summer:

Freckles.

Going on 10 summers without a pool in the desert. Whah. I know, first world problems.

Temps over 105°.

Question

What do you love and dread about summer?

Last Week’s Top Clicked Post!

10 Questions that Foster Thriving Friendships

By Michele Morin

 Michele Morin delivers another great review of an important book for Christian women by Lisa-Jo Baker. Never Unfriended.  Michele always delves deep into her reviews and I learn so many lessons just reading them. She makes this book also seem a must read to add to my shelves. Be sure to check it out.

 

My Favorite Post of the Week

Graduating from Homeschool

by Jennifer at Raising Servant Leaders

This post resonated with me since I, too, have my first graduate who was home schooled up until 10th grade and online schooled for his last 2 years. I enjoyed reading Jennifer's memories of her daughter, and I always enjoy her transparency. Whether you homeschool or not, if you're a mom, I think you'll be blessed by Jennifer's post.

Now, it is time to link up to the Literacy Musing Mondays hop!

Linkup Rules:

1. Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
2. Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
3. Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
4. We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger's post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone's posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
5. Follow your hosts and co-hosts on their social media.
6. Tweet about the link up too.
