Welcome Summer!

I meant to do my work today,

But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,

And a butterfly flitted across the field,

And all the leaves were calling me.

~ Richard Le Gallienne (1866 - 1947)

Summer arrived this afternoon at 2:06 p.m. (Eastern Time). Could you feel the difference?  It's been a nice--not too hot day--here in the Valley with plenty of sunshine, breezes, and clear mountain views.

What do you like about summer? I like fresh vegetables from the garden, homemade ice cream, and family excursions on summer weekends. Enjoy your first day of summer wherever you are!

I love the early morning hours in the Summer. When I can get out of bed on time!

Also, the fresh fruit and veggies at the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning.

Oh, I love the long hours of sunshine! And swimming! And gardening! And reading on the deck - lol - apparently I could just go on and on ... :o)

Crystal from Biblical Womanhood just had her baby -on the first day of summer.

Sunshine is what I enjoy the most-bright mornings in our family room .We are going to a Durham Bulls game next week (June 29-our 22nd anniversary)as one family summer outing.

I like the lush green of the trees. I love to look toward the mountains and see them all covered in green. I love to sit under a shade tree and feel the coolness.

Summer...I like the smell of sunscreen, eating watermelon, walks in the cool of the evening, listening to crickets at night, going to the beach and pool, and the break from school. :-)
