i am not ready for summer to end. i’m not. i’m a sun baby. a flower child. i absolutely live for the summer and every single thing that comes with it. but i do love the fall, too, and the holidays!? oooh, i can’t help but get a dot excited once september hits. it happens every year. and i’d be majorly lying if i said i didn’t start listening to christmas music several months in advance. and justinbieberiscomingoutwithachristmasalbum but lets just breeze over that sentence, we’re breezing right over.

I've only been to Nashville once, it was the dead of winter. I remember thinking it would probably be beautiful this time of year… that picture proves my assumption.
Happy Labor Day! 🙂
