summer is more than a few passing months...it's a state of mind,
it seems to have more importance in many ways than other seasons,
maybe the memories of summer vacation from school, a visceral shift
a different sense of time
languid as bees in pollen
sum sum summertime
Yes. There is something about this time of year that taps into the primal need for slowing down and savoring long days of filling out senses... love being in your sum sum summertime garden dear Steph!

Ahhhh.

Time seems to slow down as the heat presses in. Then we take that chance to run away for just a while to cooler climes and time speeds up again.

now that I am living in the land of perpetual summertime I realize that we love it for the contrast it brings. I wonder if I will appreciate it as much as I did in the cold north???
