Sitting on the Porch in the Summer time
Sitting on the porch in the summer time is a great time of year. School is finished, people are planning vacations, there are backyard barbeques and the sounds of kid playing outside. I know that not everyone is celebrating summer. You have to be living in the northern hemisphere. But right now, we are experiencing the hottest weather ever. There are forest fires, and drought seems to be closing in. There are many people around the Kamloops region who have been evacuated and I am sure there will be more. I think about them and wish the families, their pets and livestock well. But if you do get to experience the art of sitting on the porch and day dreaming away the day, then you are in a good place.
There are 10 cute sentiments with this stamp set and I am sure that you will find one which is suitable. You can also combine the various sentiments to make many more
