Summer Love


Loving summer …

But not the heat. 
I do love~
bare feet.

flip-flops.

feet with flip-flop tan lines.


fresh veggies. from my own garden.    


afternoon thunder showers with rolling rumbles.

lemonade. only fresh squeezed.
lime is good too.

a camera in my hands held to my eye.

big fluffy white clouds.

oversized t-shirts. shorts. flip-flops.

Photobucket
polka dotted flip-flops. lots of flip-flops.

a fresh hair cut.

water. air conditioning. thank you Lord.

a good book….a love story…a story of days gone by.

dirt.

a cool shower. soap. bubbles. lotion.

blooms. longer days. cool afternoons. the smell of a just cut lawn. green grass.


                   babies. blue babies. learning to fly. mama near by.





                                                      swinging.
         my porch.

a beautiful white beach with no tar balls.

trips. trips that take you no where.

berries.

popsicles.

ice cold watermelon. spitting seeds.

those moments you think you’re funny.

pretty painted toes.

vbs. little kids. crafts for kids. kool-aid and cheese curls.

sprinklers. fishing. ice cubes.
kool-aid ice cubes



visits with old friends. fond memories. catching up. time stands still.

I spent my morning with an old friend from my high school days. The hours turned into years of catching up. Remember when? Remember that? How is……? Where are they now? How are you? You look great! She was the really smart one in school. Top of our class. She is the doctor now…infectious diseases are her specialty. While she was still going to med school she would always asked me… “who would want to marry me being a doctor?” And my answer was always… “Another doctor.” So what did she go and do…marry another doctor!! She was in my wedding, I was in her's.  We rarely get to see each other because of their work. They live in Virginia and have two beautiful daughters.

What a fun visit….after many hugs, and “I love you’s”, she had to go with a promise of a visit the next time they are home to Alabama!!
Time stood still if only for one morning.

summer is good. life is good. sweet summer time.
slow.
easy.

Yes, I finally now call them flip flops...my teen daughters laughed every time I called them thongs!
Your morning with a friend sounds wonderful as do all your summer love's! I would add from here...the smell freshly cut hay...my big dog loving to swim in the river...the deer that run across my path on my morning walk...fudge cycles.And so much more! :D

Gorgeous hydrangea! The veggie photo is so colorful... makes my mouth water for some fresh veggies!

I love your summer list. I very much dislike the heat, but these things I very much enjoy about summer!

I'm so glad you were able to catch up with an old friend. Don't you just love how you can pick up where you last left off no matter how many years it's been. I'm so thankful that God blesses us with good friendships. I'm thankful for the friendship He has formed in us! Yes my dear friend, life is good!!
