He fishes. Sometimes I stitch on something, other times I fish. Sometimes I take along a good book to read. I love these days of making memories in the summer. Also I love keeping my grandson (10 months old now) and taking him for walks in the cool morning of summer.Mrs. Sew and Sew - Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632119234844075457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-56041099888212928872009-08-13T18:14:02.033-05:002009-08-13T18:14:02.033-05:00I love the cool summer mornings that are full of s...I love the cool summer mornings that are full of sunshine.

It was dusk and the birds were actively searching for food. Blue Jays, Sparrows, Cardinals and Yellow Finches chirping, flitting about. Then it got darker and we curled up and sat on a little bench just to take in the soft quiet of a summer evening. Opening mason jars we drank thirstily some fresh ice cold sweet tea and watch the entire sky light up with lightening bugs. It was wonderful!Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091801622556874016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-49247305497607485792009-08-07T08:55:45.579-05:002009-08-07T08:55:45.579-05:00Hello Sue :)

We couldn't plant until the middle to the end of June which doesn't make for a long growing season at all. We already have a short one starting after Memorial Day. So for me, the harvest has not really begun. I have loved the starry nights, the fireflies and cook outs with my honey. I'm hoping we can go camping soon :) <br />Thanks for your generosity :)<br /><br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737384601584423130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-64404749586618841092009-08-06T14:40:13.463-05:002009-08-06T14:40:13.463-05:00I actually got some work done in my "flower b...I actually got some work done in my "flower bed" while I was out of work.

I usually cannot even walk outside from late June until mid-September without melting. Overall, it's been tolerable. Not cool, just tolerable. But hey, that's good for me. <br /><br />Yesterday I was doing errands and noticed that the temperature was 99. NO AC in the car. Thank you God the humidity wasn't high.<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br />LauraMrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-60003946150584122752009-08-05T08:33:18.024-05:002009-08-05T08:33:18.024-05:00So far it's been taking my little guy to the p...So far it's been taking my little guy to the park at the lake every single day.

As a very young child it was catching lightening bugs and the smell of freshly mowed grass. When I began school, it was getting the summer off and being able to play all day every day, swimming and going to visit both sets of grandparents. When I got out of school and moved halfway across the country, the best part was being in shape and going to the beach with friends. When I got engaged & married, the best part of summer was spending it anywhere together with the man I loved. Then I had children, and having come full circle, the best part was catching lightening bugs and smelling the freshly mowed grass with them, and on and on.A Bee In My Bonnet - Leslie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159230204353222531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34082984.post-31935530816857131432009-08-04T21:54:24.412-05:002009-08-04T21:54:24.412-05:00My favorite part of summer is the night sky.
