Savoring Summer



Heat, ma'am! it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones.
-- Sydney Smith

What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance.
-- Jane Austen


The heat has been intense.
Heat indexes of over 100 for a solid week.

The beautiful hydrangeas are a thing of the past. The heat is too overwhelming.

Even so,

I still love summer.

Swimming

Ice cream

Being lazy

Cute toes

Cold, juicy watermelon

Fireflies

Gorgeous sunsets

Fireworks

Fun in the sun



It is slipping away.

I am not ready.

Savor the GIFT of each moment

we've been given.

What gifts of

summer

are you savoring today?

  2. Well, for one, I'm savoring that precious little kiss shot up there. Later, I will savor an iced coffee smoothie.

    And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Austen quote!

  5. Hi sweet friend! I sure have missed you and stopped by to let you know I am still alive! :) I hope you guys are well. I guess you could say I took the summer off! School starts for us on the tenth of August. When do you get started back up? Hope to get back in my groove with blogging once school starts and we are on a schedule. Miss you! Have a great day!
