summer

where did summer go?

i had all of these plans - sitting at the beach, going to concerts on the lawn, vacation.....

yet, here i am, just a couple of weeks before all the craziness starts again,

and i haven't done any of it.


Oh, we did do some things.
There was the big graduation party.

that was a lot of work and a lot of fun!

there was the trip to greenfield village - where i mostly took pictures of gardens.

there was strawberry picking -- but that seems like a billion years ago.

there was gardening -- a whole lot of gardening (but a really little carrot!)

there were other adventures as well.  it just went too fast!

  i have been pondering the purpose of this entry and this is what i have decided.  

time continues to march on whether i want it to or not.  i need to make the most of my days, be it summer (my favorite time of year) or winter (my least favorite). 

so, i'm coming up with a list each month of things that i will do and enjoy.  not a to do list of chores, but of personally enriching and satisfying projects designed to give me joy.
