Today marks the first day of summer vacation. My boys are thrilled, I am a bit overwhelmed with the thought of endless summer days and their wild energy. At the moment the need to contain their wildness feels unnecessary. So I hope to have this image in my mind most of the summer, the sounds of the sweet rustling leaves, the soft endless hues of green, the branches reaching and winding, holding and calming me.
I am going to honor this time by posting less frequently. I am looking forward to sinking into the direction this summer has in store for us and all the natural beauty from within and around us we will uncover. I hope the same for my readers too. Happy Solstice, happy summer, enjoy!

WE all need unstructured time 🙂
Me too. I spent some lovely time in the shade of a Linden tree.
That sounds lovely. So glad to hear it, Sherry. Enjoy!
Enjoy Carrie!!
Thank you, Laura 🙂
Enjoy the change of pace Carrie.
Yes, I will! Thank you Chris. I’ll still be around just scaling back a bit. It feels good to s.l.o.w. down.
I have been stepping back a bit too – weekly post are more manageable!
Your words are lovely – the sounds of the sweet rustling leaves, the soft endless hues of green, the branches reaching and winding, holding and calming me –
Enjoy the summer with your wild ones 🙂 and find those calming moments.
Thank you, Laurie 🙂 I’ll enjoy both the softness and the wildness!
A happy solstice and summer to you as well, dear friend. I hope you revel in and feel refreshed from the “natural beauty” you discover within and around you and your loved ones.
Thank you, I am mighty thankful for you Janet. Truly, I am.
