Half Way Through!


I'm not a big fan of summer.  It's just too hot most of the time for me.  I prefer snuggly sweaters and hot coffee to shorts and ice water.  This is one great way to cool off in our backyard.

On a day like today, where it's not hot (just hovering around 70), I move around quicker and actually get things done around the house.  Today, laundry day.  Three more loads to go and every clothing item in the house will be clean, perhaps not folded, but clean and dry.

There are parts of summer I like:  gardening.  ice cream.  cold showers.  swim lessons.  And the moment I realize the boys go back to school in five weeks!  Halfway, Moms, halfway!

{this moment}

A Friday ritual (well, if rituals can be sporadic).
A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week.
A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments
for all to find and see.

Camping

We were able to take a quick weekend camping trip last weekend.  

It was so nice.  I love the short drive to a place unplugged.


First time with the axe.

Fish!
Hummingbird in the fire?
