Sunburned and happy

My cheeks are pink.

My shoulders are too.

I am tired and satisfied.

Back home,

I sit and type.

It is hot.

My eldest has retreated to our basement

and thinks I need to turn on the air conditioning.

My middle kiddo is cleaning up for school tomorrow with the promise of watching a Narnia movie when she's done.

My little guy?

He's sitting on my bed watching me type and enjoying the music that comes on anytime I flip back to view my blog.

Back to me...

this weekend,

this "taste" of summer...

has me longing...

daydreaming...

wishing happy things...

feeling...

I hope,

I pray,

I wish,

for you...

Blessings,

Happiness,

Peace.

Now, Always, Forever

Swings and Starry Skies

Laying on my swing,

my feet dangling over the edge,

brushing the grass with each gentle pass,

I looked up into the sky,

darkness was settling around me.

The multitude of fences were disappearing,

as if into a mist,

from somewhere,

the smell of popcorn floated by on the breeze.

I chatted on the phone

and thought about what an absolutely lovely evening it was.

Friday

Payday

No rain predicted

for the whole weekend

My girls came out for a little while and joined me.

Even the dog sat with us.

A brief trip indoors to put everyone to bed,

then back out with a blanket,

a cup of coffee.

I fell asleep for just a little while,

waking at my pup's slight whine.

Why was mom,

sleeping outside?

Back,

writing to you,

telling the story,

getting ready to climb into bed.

Planing the day tomorrow,

daydreaming in my head.

It has to be a park day,

a play day.

A picnic,

bring a smile day.

One park,

two..

dare I say

three?

warm

happy

blessed.

May your evening be beautiful.

May tomorrow find you refreshed.

May you always know you are loved.

May you be blessed.

Fishy daydreams

Come and have a seat.

Spend some time in a quiet peaceful place.

Choose your favorite fish and name him.

Listen to the gurgling water and let your mind wander.

Soft light filtering down...

wrapping you in a warm embrace.

Come, visit, a wonderful place.
