wheelbarrow from recent barn sale
How are you settling into the summer? For me, it's snuck up on me and I'm having some difficulty balancing the regular work load with the addition of weeding and mowing and kids. I'm enjoying the warmer weather but suddenly can't remember what I wore last summer and wondering what I did with my clothes from last year?

Children at home always add an interesting element to the summer mix. There are places to go and friends to see and my routine doesn't stay the same or fit into their plans.

But I wouldn't trade this time for anything. We spent the evening reading on the porch, drinking lemonade and watching the Mama Cardinal protect her young. Dinner was steaks on the grill with fresh asparagus, green beans and corn. Soon there will be fireflies lighting the night sky.

Today I'm going to try and get some quilting in but my husband is home and the sunshine is calling, so we'll see how far I get. Blessings!
Smiles,
Fireflies! I love them. I used to catch them when I was a little girl in Ohio. I miss them. I live in Texas...no fireflies.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
What a wonderful day! Everything sounds just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in San Antonio in Texas and we had fireflies too. I loved going out and trying to catch them.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMaddie is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteMiss you!
Hugs, Shann
I agree, there IS too much to do in summer. I can't seem to take care of the garden AND the laundry. It is either one or the other (or neither!).
ReplyDeleteLove your little wheelbarrow filled with flowers. I'm so jealous of your fireflies. Brings back memories of my childhood.
ReplyDeleteHope you get some quilting in. It feeds the soul. Enjoy your summer with kids home...all too soon they will be gone. Sitting on the porch with lemonade and a good book is what summer is all about.
Your summer day sounds perfect! We are still waiting for summer to arrive with continual rainy and cool days :( Hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteIt does not feel like summer yet here....so cold..our weather is crazy. Plus we are all still in school...soon it will be upon us. Hugs sweet friend. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time. This way the quilt will last longer :) Happy crafting, Jenny
ReplyDeleteMy summer vacation officially begins today! 2 months to do as I please. It's hot and dusty here so there will be many pajama days in my future; no outdoor activities but hopefully much crafting and indoor projects checked off my to do list. Happy Wednesday to you, Tammy
ReplyDeleteSummer snuck up on me, also. I'm try to fully dine on the joy of eat hot day.
