photo op: JULY things

RER 7.10.14

July is quickly vanishing, like that ice cream on top of a freshly baked peach cobbler melting into the warmth of the hot summery filling. The heat of the month has been stifling during the day, trapping bodies in oppressive moments of humidity and impetuous sunshine. Although, lately, evenings have been cool and relenting with clouds and showers. Just summer. The days are blurring together, separated only by starts and stops and sips and bites. There have been parties and celebrations, baking and meals, and just normal everydays this month. These are some snaps from my July.

This past weekend was my birthday, and there is no better way to celebrate to enjoy some seriously good food and fun company. Not only was it my birthday, but we were celebrating a few birthdays to make it a big blow out, with multiple cakes, multiple meals and multiple wishes. Next weekend will be another collective birthday bash. Check out some of the goodies I had this weekend!
