As the school year winds to a close, I can feel my muscles relaxing and begin to really enjoy the sights and smells around me. Catching up with friends, pool dates, playing in the park, and roadtrips are just some of what is in store for us this wonderful time of year. Harvesting vegetables from my garden is such a delight. Well, not that we could ever survive on what I grow..but...it's a start, right?! Oh, and what fun it has been to show Joe the process of it all....
And so I continue to count my blessings and joys:

coconutty smell of sunscreen

smell of warmed earth
wicked thunderstorms
full rain barrel
rainshowers that quench the thirsty garden
flowers kissed by the sun
Come to Ann's place and see what others are thankful for:
The smell of the warmed earth. Yes. I only smelled in VA. I have never smelled the same smell when I lived in CA, HI, or MA. Welcome summer.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, those much needed rainshowers... loved your summer-y list of goodness and grace!
ReplyDeleteFood grown from a home garden is the best! I loved seeing your garden pictures:)
