Oh Summer! You are finally here!
Your warmth, your color, your adventure, and your bounty!
A little dramatic perhaps, but between overcast skies, a herd of mosquitos hovering outside my door and the endless packing going on around here, I had a few glimpses of glorious summer this week.
My list of 1000 gifts continues...
237. the variety of geraniums at the garden center
238. what $20 bought at the farm market
239. little girls shelling peas,
240. washing chard,
241. cutting strawberries,
242. wearing their aprons,
243. and loving every minute of it
244. the color and variety God supplies
245. hula hoops
246. friends who are gentle with your children
247. and who share their favorite seacoast spots with you

251. a day of sandcastles, ice cream, salt water taffy, and friendships

I have a few schedules posts over the next month but my blogging days are few and far between. I can't wait to show you our new home. I hope you have a wonderful summer full of adventures, plenty of ice cream and blessings to count.

Oh, and I just read the Yellow Shoe Story. Splendid, simply splendid. :)
Beautiful list! Summer in New England... there is nothing better. We lived in Mass (North Shore area) for 3 years. Best summers ever.
Lovely photos. Always nice to visit!
