cool burn

Growing up summer had a magical note to it.  Everyday was new,  the music was good.....I had amazing summers, and then I didn't, now they are back.  I was sitting in a parking lot tonight, listening to the 70's at 7 and people watching.  A kid maybe 19 or so strums by my car on his skateboard,  Gets himself a soda and proceeds to wow me as he skates through a flat canvas of a parking lot as the sun sets very low in the sky.  And there you have it, how I got my summer back. 

supper moon

The star that is closest to our earth, the sun is what we call it, lit up the moon so beautifully on Saturday that I did not want it to ever go away.   We were at the lake and the moon crept up over the trees.  When something like that is upon you everything is so small.  Like a small 3 year old who  chased it through the sky for a couple of hours.  Leaving on Sunday was so hard because the little girl was so sad that she sat in the middle of camp as sort of a protest.  A mean dog even barked at her and she held her ground.  She said I like camping and sleeping in the cabinet. 

Tonight we took a late drive to settle my nerves.  We had been cruising a round for awhile when my sweet baby girl broke into song.  ....twinkle twinkle...you know the tune.....I was blown away....but over the past couple of days I have been hearing little bits of singing....this was such a nice treat.   Three day weekends are wonderful family time, but late into day 3 and I am a little ready for routine again.    and speaking of routine or lack of, the entire day of the 4th came and went with family, food, decorations, and lots of fireworks...and this lady did not take a single picture....I was busy, darn busy all day and it slipped my mind I guess...and for the first time ever I made really good beans and pot salad.    up above the world so high like a diamond in the sky
