The Welcome Signs of Summer...

Summer has arrived in full swing! We are embracing it with open and glad arms!

I love the fresh aromas of earth and greenery, flowers in bloom, warm mulch, fresh cut grass, sunscreen, and yummy eateries on the grill.

My skin relishes the warmth of the sun on my skin, and my ears drink in the music of everything living, growing, and buzzing about.

These are some of my favorite things, to give you a taste of this idyllic life : )


Aero swinging in the park





Marcail and Donovan swinging in the park : )





The magnolias on our tree in the front yard are in bloom! They smell lovely!





....along with some other flowering bushes....





Grilling out on the patio on a warm summer's evening







-while the children play outside-





Sometimes I have to stop and take a moment, to view the life I live with a heart full of gratitude and contentment. It really is such a beautiful world and a wonderful life!

Anneke, you do have a beautiful and wonderful life. I hope you can always keep that in perspective, even when the going gets rough. God has blessed you abundantly my friend. Pass it down to your children! Love you, Robin
