"Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair...”
Susan Polis Schutz
I know summer is not over yet, but schools are starting back now and I want to savor this season as long as I can. It's my favorite. I want to soak in every drop before it seeps out into Fall. I feel my best in the summer, maybe because I'm drinking in all that Vitamin D from the sun, something I miss terribly in the winter.
SO. . .a savoring and a pondering, here I go. . .
SUMMERTIME, and the livin' is easy. . .
I love. . .
the way the green grass feels on barefeet.
the warmth of the sun beating down on my skin
the soft breezes blowing my hair
sitting in porch swings and rocking in porch rockers
eating popsycles and feeling like a kid
smelling the wet dirt and mulch in gardens
seeing the flowers blooming
watching the farmers crops growing
night time walks
sitting out under the stars
boy home more because school is out
mowing the yard (yes, I like this!)
sitting out in the mornings listening to the birds sing their songs
getting fresh tomatoes from the garden
juicy watermelons
farmers markets
juicy watermelons
hearing children laughing in their backyard play
hearing the pea frogs croaking at night
watching the bats flying in the dusky hours
crunching soft crushed ice (Sonic's is the best!)
flip flops
capris and sleeveless tops
backyard barbeques
laying on rafts in pools with friends
laying on rafts in pools with friends
long walks with the hubs, or a friend
daydreaming in the hammock
watching the birds birthing their families
watching the baby birds grow up and fly off on their own
watching the baby birds grow up and fly off on their own
the smell of fresh baled hay
ice cold lemonade
cool air from the inside vents
'porchin' time with the neighbors
concerts in the park
watching children play in the fountains
drinks from the water hose
bike rides (not too long ones though;)
butterflies flitting all over the yard
rabbits hopping all over the yard
the smells of summer
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Do you know this song, Summertime?
What is your favorite part of summertime?
Do you love summer or do you love another season more?
~Go eat a popsycle before the Fall breezes blow in~
banana is my favorite:)

I love summer and everything it brings. Her is summer almost over, but we are having more rainy days than sunny days. ANyway, it is just a matter of looking at the bright sides of life. You are very good at it.
Hi Kris ~ I always love your on the light side of things...posts. Everything you wright is always so good and it blesses me. Summer is not my favorite time. Fall and winter is what I like best. Well...spring is good too because I love hearing all the birds and seeing the flowers bloom. Really...I find something good in all the seasons. GOD sure knew what He was doing didn't HE??!!
