Ah summer. That lovely time of relaxed schedules, sandals, and time in the sun. Water-play, sun-play, friend-play. A time to slow down, drink iced tea with LOTS of lemon, and remember how it was in the old days. Seeing tomatoes on my windowsill brings back sweet memories of grandparents and working in their gardens (and being given sweet cherry tomatoes as payment). Counting today the gifts that summertime brings....

Gratefully linking here today:
Happy Birthday Max! The first year flies by fast and they change so much in that time. Miss Pretty will be celebrating in August. I'll cherish these moments and give thanks for the gifts that they are. Lovely post! Thank you for sharing your summer. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Max and to his mom and dad and big brother who are celebrating one year of joy because of him!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest will turn 5 in August and my youngest will turn one. My middle can not figure out why she doesn't get a birthday next month too :) What a wonderful list!
