Summer time

Summer time

When the days are long

It’s light when we wake up

It’s light long after dinner is done

When we can sit in the garden and read

Or enjoy a cup of tea

When the birds are happy

And let us know with their songs

When the grass is green

And flower pots are out again in the back yard

Summer time

When I can wear dresses every day

When it doesn’t take ten minutes to prepare

To get out of the house

When morning walks are pleasant

And neighbours can stand outside and chat for a while

Summer time

The time to travel

To broaden one’s horizon

To meet friends who come from abroad

Summer time

Crabapples on the tree

Mint in the garden

And raspberry time

Summer time is relaxation time

Summer evenings

Sitting outside

Bug bites

The hum of the air conditioner

The swishing of the sprinkler

The green grass

 

Sitting in the gazebo

My feet up on the table

Trying to soak in the moment

 

We are always doing

Rushing from one activity to another

It’s good to sit quietly sometimes

And contemplate

Or write

 

These days won’t last

Before we know it, it will be fall

Let’s live intentionally

Slow down sometimes

And give thanks

Fall carpet

They are inviting us to sit with them for a while

Look at the beauty of nature and

The amazing colors, a feast for the eyes

 

They say let’s look back at the summer

What did you enjoy?

What was hard?

 

They say let’s look ahead to winter

The season of hibernation 

We can still do a lot in those cold months

 

They say let’s think about right now 

The blessings we have

How far we’ve come And then they thank us for visiting them 

And staying for a while
