Ode to Summer

Ahhhh summer! We tend to think of summer as a time for resting, relaxing, and rejuvenating.  But really, it's not.  Summer is a time for speeding up.  For doing things, getting out there, and enjoying each precious moment.  As we gorge ourselves on fresh greens, strawberries, and all the other fruits of summer, we are filled with that same fresh sun-lit energy that those plants took in.  Maybe that's what makes our summer memories seem so spectacular. 

Like harvesting and drying those sweet red clover blossoms.

And picking and eating your way through a field of perfect strawberries.

And having so many cucumbers you are forced to make delicious pickles from them.

Even nursing a nestling to keep it strong.

With a cozy nest and mulberries from the backyard.

Wanna know the best part of summer?

Sharing it all with friends.

Happy Summer!
