Things we've been loving this summer so far ....
I love summer nights on the back porch! This space has been such a blessing to us! Adding a roof over the porch a few years ago was a wonderful idea! We spend a lot of our time here on the porch! I also love low lights! We had this lamp for a few years and I decided to add it to the porch and it's dreamy! The soft glow is just perfect!
Fresh flowers! I love that I can go outside with a clippers in my hand and find myself a fresh bouquet of flowers! All these white ones look great in the kitchen!
I added these seeds out back and I really hope to have more fresh bouquets in a few weeks!
I love summer mornings walking at the park! My friend Linda and I have been doing this for over two years. It's so low maintenance that when it doesn't suit one of us, we just text and meet up the next day! This summer we've been meeting a 7 AM!
I love when we can spend time with Gunnar! He stays here when Hadassah cleans and he always wants to give Sunny, neighbors horse, a carrot and then go on a brum brum ride!!!! We go see the cows down the road and then on up to see the donkeys and goats in our Amish neighbors meadow. Gunnar LOVES THIS!!!!
He loves his Daudy/Grandpa!!!! Gunnar had his first sleepover without his momma or daddy here! He slept great and Hadassah got to enjoy a full day on the beach!
I love a good book and this was recommended and I know why!!!! It's a wonderful read and challenging! Asking what would Jesus do before every decision is life changing! You should read this book too!
Summer is the time to fish and Austin and his cousins love to fish at the park!
They also had a sleepover here and ate French toast sticks for breakfast.
We've been watering the grass seeds off of the back porch to help repair the yard!
Something we don't love is sickness. Austin was down with a headache and just not feeling well for one day. I'm so glad it didn't last long! We hear that Measles are actually going around to. I hope to stay clear of that!!!! While he was not well, I started a summer puzzle in the living room. We listened to Adventures in Odyssey while he rested and I did puzzle. Even when life is not great, this really wasn't bad!
With it only being 300 pieces, we had this done in not time.
We do love birthdays and we have a young man with one coming up. He made a few birthday lists for those who might ask!!!!
We love our hometown! Wow, back a few weeks when I was on jury duty, I missed driving through our town and grabbing some groceries! Heritage Days is when tons of people come to our hometown park and watch volleyball games, eat good local food and then see fireworks in the night sky on Saturday night! Mike was in Canada on a golf trip and was going to fly home on Friday night. The flight was canceled because of technical problems on the plane and he didn't come home till Saturday night. We grabbed dinner in our home town and it's great to have him back home!
Our summer with two children at home is relaxing. Ashlyn is playing volleyball and Austin is into baseball. Mike and I love both sports! We are loving the nights on the back porch watching the Phillies games! Isn't summer just the best???
I love summer time!
