Going to fast....

Is it just me or is Summer going by to fast???

It seems like it just started...but, it's feeling like it is coming to an end.....

I just finished up my Summer school job...and it was GREAT! I'm always a little sad when it's done...it's amazing how much they grow in just four weeks!

There's still plenty on my original summer to-do list staring at me....but, I find myself, not really caring if the list gets accomplished now or not :D

We've begun calving...and I so LOVE finding new babies snuggled down in the tall grass...and I love watching them run & play even more as the sun begins to set (I only wish I could watch them out my very own kitchen window :D)

The last couple of weekends we've been on the go....two different weekends spent at family gatherings (time to truly relax & just feel God's blessings!) and this last weekend, my Mr. barbecued for our Church and the free community dinner they were sponsoring.

Along the way this Summer I've noticed...

it's not really the heat that makes Summer what it is...
it's not really all the beautiful flowers and green grass everywhere...
it's not really those great summertime drinks....
it's not really the cool pools....

It's really just the season of abundance that God sends that makes Summer so right! The extra hours of daylight, the fresh, homegrown fruits & vegetables, weekends filled with family adventures and gatherings...and those evenings to just sit on your porch and watch the sun set....those...those are the parts that really make Summer what it is for me :D

So, for the next few weeks, I'm going to try REALLY hard to soak in what's left of this summer...to reflect, listen, and just "be" ! Hope each of you find a moment to do just that too...and that in that moment...you fill blessed! Sweet blessings!
