HERE AND SOON GONE: SUMMER

While it lasts...
How will you do it?

Take a walk in the country.

Take your shoes off, and run on the grass.

Pack a picnic!

Don't forget the lavender lemonade...

Kiss a horse.

Write a long-lost friend.
Pick up the same pen and write 
a list of things you're thankful for.

Watch the birds gather a nest.
Enjoy seeing the babies leave it.

Make memories at the beach.

You've wondered what's behind that door--

open it!

Make homemade ice cream!

Visit your favorite nursery.

Have crepes at the Saturday Market!

Put "Visit Castles" on your Dreaming To-Do list.

Make jam…

Pick blueberries.

Pick every kind of berry…
strawberry, marionberry, blackberry,
lingonberry, raspberry, on and on
'til they're gone.

Find a field of lavender, 

bury your face in a bush and smell

a fragrance like no other.

Take a vacation with friends.

So do it…

…and plant a tree.

Smell the flowers.

Make a bouquet from them.

Plant a vegetable garden in the sun.

Salute the flag!

Plant one on the moon.

Gather wild honey.

Love on a little one.

Love on a big one.

Don't just look at the flowers, pick one

and make believe it's a real dragon,

like when you were a tiny person.

However you spend it,

may you be filled with JOY!

But whatever you do…

And don't forget your hat!!

Fill every sunny summer moment to the brim, 

because if you live where I do,

then you know that all too soon

THIS

will

happen…

And then THIS...

SO PICK YOUR PEACHES WHILE YE MAY!

AND MAKE A RUSTIC COBBLER WITH THEM;

EVEN IN WINTER YOU WILL REMEMBER

THEIR SUN-KISSED JUICY GOODNESS...

A HAPPY BLESSED SUMMER

NO MATTER WHERE OR HOW YOU SPEND IT!
