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?
