\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The warmer parts of the year are my favorite. Each year, however, they seem to go by in a flash.<\/p>\n

This year, I am determined to savor the summery bits.<\/p>\n

This means spending time with the sliding door open.<\/p>\n

This means walks out doors.<\/p>\n

This means making things like lemonade.<\/p>\n

This limeade was inspired by a cilantro limeade<\/a> that looked quite refreshing. However, when I went to the store, the cilantro looked as if it had seen better days…days ago. The mint, however, was looking quite fresh.<\/p>\n

When I went home with the mint, I hadn’t intended to include strawberries, but they were there just looking at me, all red and luscious wanting to be consumed.<\/p>\n

Summer, I’m waiting!<\/p>\n
