To see the Summer Sky....

To see the Summer Sky

Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -

True Poems flee.

~ Emily Dickinson

Summertime will be over soon, and since I haven't done so already I wanted to dedicate a post to summer....and the things I love about it! This summer has been especially wonderful for me...it has been relatively mild here in St. Louis! Compared to the humidity and overall dreadful heat we normally experience, this summer has been very nice. Not that I have been here that long to enjoy it! Vacationed in Virginia, Memphis, Branson (this coming week actually) and several little weekend trips... I have been blessed to really be able to travel quite a bit this year!

There are many special things about this time of year that are locational - The Muny in Forest Park, The St. Louis Zoo, walking the loop, Live on the Levee, visiting Kimmswick during the Strawberry Festival, Cardinals games, etc. But many of the things that touch my heart and soul in the summertime are very universal I think....

Taking the dog and the kids to swim in the river....

A nice cold Yoohoo! on a hot day....

America's favorite pastime - baseball games! (Go Cards!) ......

Taking a nap on an outdoor swing....

Football practices and games for the little guys....

Little feet. Shoeless and a bit dirty....

Sweet flowers picked just for you....

A walk in the park with friends....

And countless snapshots of beauty in our day-to-day lives!
