Well, it's definitely summer!

With 95-100 degree days every day, yep, it's defintely summer. And, we're getting school supplies (it's a little early, but WalMart still has them in stock at this point), so that's another good argument in favor of summer.

I'm a little scared, as there's only a bit more than a month yet...we shall see.
