 Just some pictures of summer so far. We have stuck very close to home this year. Most of the photos are right here in town. We have spent lots of time at the library, escaping the heat and taking advantage of the wonderful summer reading program we have here, loving the free presentations and crafts and taking home great prizes. We have had lots of swimming at our own little beach, lots of days playing at the park, and long evenings with friends at the playground when it has been cool enough to play! And also much time spent at a friend's amazing garden, eating watermelon and popsicles, picking her raspberries and being blown away by her humming birds. Kind of a slow and gentle summer. Which I'm realizing is just fine with me. More time to just be with each other, to just be here now.
