THIS Is Summer

This is Summer when you are 8-years old.

Just roller skatin' around the 'hood in your bathing suit like it's no big deal. 

Because it's not when you are eight.
Stopping for a popsicle on the front porch, using the broom to help slow you down when
you're going down the hill, dodging your brother's Nerf gun bullets. 

Sigh. 

Hope you're enjoying these Summer days, too.

This Is Summer

This is Summer.

Sitting in the park, in the grass, with my sister.

Watching the kids play,  talking, laughing... and talking some more.

Trying to figure out our problems, and the world's problems...

Listening and crying and finding heart-shaped clover.

A simple, little snapshot of a Summer day in my life.

* You should come back here for Coffee tomorrow... bright and early.
See ya there.

This Is Summer.

I love this picture.

It's not a perfect picture and that might be why I love it so much.

This right here is Summertime to me, not a "perfect" idea of what Summer looks like,

but a real snapshot of a little moment in a Summer day in our life right now.

Popsicles, siblings, front porch, cut-offs, barefoot.

Love.
