Thinking of Summer...

It must be true what they say; Time Flies When Your Having Fun. Because during the summer you never think it is going to end! And suddenly summer is over before you thought it had actually begun. During the winter, like right now, the craving for summer fills my mind; It is particualarly strong during cold mornings of scraping ice from my windsheild.
The reason I post this particualar picture is because of the warm memories it brings. I felt like Lori from the musical "Oklahoma" as I pranced in this orchard. Wearing skirts and t shirts and sandels. Never having to worry about having a coat! This is pure freedom.
HUM.. but than what happens towards August? It seems like you wish for a meadow of untouched snow! Right? You miss it. You miss hot chocolate and Christmas Carols. Is it our human nature wanting variety? or is it simply because we aren't truely grateful for what we have now, in the present?
This summer I am going to truely soak up the sun as much as possible. Bowers have their family reunion (5 days of camping) And I have a goal to make a list of things I want to do to fully embrace summer season. One I've already decided is to have a picnic twice a month! It was one of my favorite memories from last summer, and so I'm going to make sure I get enough of it in this year. xoxo
