So Glad It is June!!!

The schools in this area got out today!!! Even though we got out on Monday, I am thrilled. Now summer can begin. It will be 100 degrees tomorrow, I think a very nice way to start June. I am weary from the month that is May. I tried to sit down this week and write a fun list of things I want to do. I couldn't think of any thing.

I think this calls for major plan of action. I need a couple days swimming in the pool. I just need to read some fun books. Light books, like Anne's House of Dreams or some Harry Potter or My Friend Flicka. I want to stay up late and sleep late and eat ice cream.

I want to sit outside and watch my chickens and I want to take my pen and paper and write down dreams.
I want to rest my mind and collect my thoughts. I think June would be a nice time to do this.
I want to watch my grand children play in the water and run and eat junk that I shouldn't give them but I want it to feel like summer for them too.

I want to spend time with my girls and I want to learn to spin. I want to sit around the fire pit in the evening and eat S'mores and have the kids bring their friends and tell ghost stories as the bats fly over at night.
I would also like to throw rocks at the skunks but I won't.

This morning, I walked out early as the sun was coming up. I stood in the dappled early morning light and picked apricots for my breakfast. I think apricots are bits of distilled sunshine. That is what makes June different from May.

Life slows down, the smell of summer comes on the wind. It smells brown and toasty. I can sit outside in the twilight and watch as the sky goes from blue to black and then the soft breeze comes across my skin like a silk scarf.

Yep, I am ready for June. Welcome back!!!
