It feels as if summer has officially arrived.
|
Flowers are coming on full force.
|
|
Colors are vibrant from ampule rain and sunshine. |
|
Calves are fat and sassy.
|
|
Calendar turns to July tomorrow. (How is THAT possible?) |
Now let me begin things in reverse and show the results before the finale.
|
A few extra dirty clothes to launder. |
|
A couple new mosquito bites. |
A scratch here and there.
A trip and fall in a tangle of brambles.
Sweat dripping down foreheads and backs soaking hat brims and leather belts.
But all SO worth the effort.
Because before the clouds burst into a down pour, little guy and I scored BIG on our first summer hunt.
|
Wild black raspberries are drooping with fruit this year and beginning to ripen. |
|
What a simple joy to watch little guy woof down his dessert made delicious from his effort.
|
The best part? There will be more pickin's to follow this one as oodles of red ones are just waiting to turn color with sunshine.
Additional laundry, a few minuscule scratches, and distracting spots to itch are small prices to pay for the simple pleasure of experiencing and TASTING real summer with a six year old boy.

Guessing I might be wearing summer on my hands for a day or so! |
