Summer

The monsoons keep coming.......pouring rains, hot humid days......clouds that seem to billow up in the blink of an eye.  It has been a while since we have had a rainy summer.....this one is turning out to be a doozie.  On the days when the sun appears, you know how a lobster feels in that steamy pot.

But everything is lush....and green.  Not so many flowers, but green, all shades of green.....moss, grass, leaves, mold.  I am thankful for our screen porch......with its ceiling fan and tin roof, it is the perfect place to be on rainy sultry days.

Lemonade has been the drink of choice, and blueberries with creamy vanilla ice cream the perfect dessert.  It's funny how particular foods fit the season.

This summer is moving faster than any I can remember.......4 of July is a week away.  Jordan came over this evening to catch lightening bugs........he loves bugs and critters of all kinds.  He is young enough to think that the summer lasts a long time........I wish it still did.

Tomorrow is Friday, enjoy your weekend and if this is the start of your vacation.......enjoy every moment!
