| Our last day of science class. We finished up our pond unit with lots of painting, lots of eating, and successful salamander hunt in the pouring rain. |
With the beginning of summer I can't help but slow and see. My coffee takes a little bit longer, my goodbyes before work are harder, and the joy in my heart is full.
Just starting our second week of summer break we have already been down to my home town, been to the beach, and the boys have had a sleep over at Nana's. Little boy legs are covered in dirt, scrapes, and bruises, a sure sign summer has arrived, and every once in a while I stop to enjoy the peeping of my almost grown chicks. Yes, my heart is full.
406. Birds singing.
407. Freshly cut grass and the sound of lawn mower engines.
408. Nails pounding & chicken runs created.
409. Wind blowing & waves lapping sandy shores.
410. Sun shining on bare toes.
411. Dirt covered boys.
412. Bugs to entertain and be loved.
413. Crickets lulling the forest to sleep.
414. The smell of smoke on our clothes.
415. Charred hot dogs.
420. Large decks with chairs full & laughter echoing.
421. Big back yards.
422. Boys still small enough to swing with me.
423. Swing set climbed, trees climbed, everything climbed.
424. No broken bones as of yet.
425. Curtains blowing in the breeze.
426. Crisp grapes on hot days.
427. Watermelon.
428. A camera to capture the beauty of the moment.
429. A God who creates for sheer pleasure.
430. Nature working together to live.
431. A crew I trust.
432. A husband who loves me.
433. Being in the here and now, slowing to see.
Here's to the kick off of a joy filled summer.
