Summer

"A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken." ~James Dent

With all the rushing around at the end of school, the organization required to get Anson off for the summer and some travel (albeit to the beach which was FABULOUS), this leisurely morning felt like the first true summer morning.


Things I love about summer:



  • The absence of alarm clocks

  • Early morning light

  • Watermelon

  • Toes in the sand

  • Long evenings to talk

  • She Speaks

  • Spending time with my parents and in-laws

  • Going to the driving range (where I stink)

  • Doing my quiet time on the deck

  • Chicken salad

  • Watching blue birds fly in and out of the blue-bird house as they feed their babies.

  • Waiting for my perennials to burst into bloom

What do you love about summer?

What I love about summer...

Going to the lake

An exhilarating ride on a jetski

No alarm clocks

Quiet times when no one wakes up early and no hurry to get somewhere.

New fawns being born and paraded by mommy deers through the yard.

Grilling out

What I love about summer.

Summer reading lists at the library

No alarm clocks

Quiet mornings

the smell of fresh grass cut

the back to school sales ( I'm a writer/ journalist.

cool breezes

laying on the grass and making figures out of the clouds

Well I work full time and my children are grown, so besides the terrible heat we are enduring, summer is not that much different in my house, however, here are a few of my favorite things:

Grandson playing All-Stars.
Cooking on the grill.
Digging in the dirt to plant flowers.
Growing our own tomatos.
Fishing at our pond right before the sun goes down.
Daylight till 8:00 to enjoy all these things!
