... since my last post.
We have had gardens to put
in, company ... and my little granddaughter had heart surgery. Many
times I have come here and have not known what to write. Ideas flying
out my head .. then out the window as well. Life takes turns and
sometimes the ride is a roller coaster; I don't 'do' roller coasters.
But .. lately .. I've been along for the ride.
How can
summer be just a few weeks away. I've yearned for this season since
last January while snow bound at home pouring over seed catalogs
daydreaming. The garden has been planted except for one type of seed ..
morning glories. It may not be too late to stick some seeds along the
fence line and hope they have time to sprout and mature in our short
growing season.
The grass needs to be mowed .. and so
do the weeds. Somehow, we have had several rainy days this past week
giving me a break with watering the garden ... yet causing the grass to
grow with wild abandon adding to the job of mowing.
This
is the last week of junior high school for Nathan ... then he gets
promoted to high school. He's excited and prepared to make the step
up. School is serving him well as he is learning many life skills that
are important to his current and future life.
There
is so much life to live in our short summer months. Staying outdoors
.. tending the veggie/fruit patches .. summer camp for Nathan ..
watching the grand kids grow .. and soaking in the fresh mountain air.
It's time to get the kayaks and bikes out. BBQ past 7 PM. Star gaze
around the fire pit. Make homemade ice cream outside with chipped ice
and salt, and listening to the cricket serenade. How about you; what's
up in your world?
