Summertime
...ah the sweet smell of roses, violas and lavender wafting on the evening air...the smell of rain on after a humid summer day and evening brings thundershowers. Summer...crisp white blossoms of daisy against blue, blue skies...slender strands of fountain grass moving gracefully in the wind...a Father's day bike ride along an old railroad bed, pleasant shade across the path and pausing to let the children splash in the shallow creek...Bible memory time in the evenings on the front porch, the soft splashing of the fountain a soothing backdrop to our togetherness...gardens lush with growing veggies: broccoli, snow peas, green beans, potatoes, kale, romaine and spinach...frosty lemonade and meadow tea on warm afternoons when work is finished and we settle down with a good book...long hours of sunlight to light our days and cool nights, the laughter of children wafting on evening breezes as they gleefully catch fireflies...the sweet scent of hay borne on warm summer winds as it is gathered into barns and bunks for winter's cold...what an awesome month, created by the God of the universe who loves beauty and variety.
