Summer Delights

I am discovering that summer has slowly and quietly come upon us like the willow trees and green leaves of awakening to summery mornings basking in sunlight!

It is time for gardens and flowers, blue skies against green leaves and cotton flying from our cottony tree~ as we thinking about sweeping the deck one more time~

It is time for resting on the deck in the evenings listening to summer sounds, garage sales on steamy weekends, art in the park and summer art shows, yearning for walks in tall grasses with wild flowers in KS coming up! Time for travelling south to MO and KS for our celebration trip coming and making plans for summer days on day trips and trips to rest our minds and schedules.

It is time for our wedding anniversary of 40 years coming soon, a few trips this summer and vacation time to renew our souls and open our minds to organic colors and landscapes, small intimate flowers and little treasures in nature ~

It is time for reading outdoors or sipping lemonade when the weather permits, enjoying the new colors of the lake and canoeing, figuring out new plantings, having outdoor meals from time to time and some mores, evening fires outdoors and friends coming to visit the lake for fun and rest.

It is suddenly summer and time to enjoy all the sights, sounds, foods and thoughts or summer, meditation and eating watermelon, deviled eggs, sweet corn, seeing friends outdoors and awaiting the daylilies after the lilacs of spring!

It is time to enjoy all the things about summer that make it a time to get outdoors and discover nature again anew, to see friends again and family on trips, vacations or a Beach Boys concert in town~ getting caught in the downpour of rain and lightning as we run to the car to get to our homes~

Time for visiting loved ones and enjoying the mountains, dreaming of evenings and mornings that last longer and waking up to a warm day of new thoughts and summer surprises each day!

Time for the blues and greens of summer outdoors and memories of summers before and new ones to come while we enjoy the present warmth of summer days and nights!

And I am ready for Rhubarb pie, summer rain and rainbows, popsickles, lemonade, time with friends, family and renewing ourselves! Have a great summer everyone with some delights each day!
