Oh Happy Day!!

Can I just say that I *love* summer time?!

When the sun is out and it is hot, I feel alive. I just can't even begin to describe the joy and energy I have.

Granted my age has taken a toll and I no longer desire to take a brisk walk in the heat or do yard work. But to be running errands and seeing all kinds of colors in the way of flowers; just makes me smile. To jump in the car and say, "My goodness it's hot!" Just makes me want to sing.

I made it to church this morning and then straight to Wal-mart to buy flowers. I am so excited about planting them in containers. Then I remembered my dear daughter and her artistic ways so I called her. She's coming over today to help me plant them. It will be hard at first because I want to "do". But she does have an eye for color and creativity so I look forward to spending time with her and seeing what she creates.

I also bought some shade to put up for the dogs. My back porch gets the direct morning sun. We have a nice over hang but there is NO shade. My Beagle woke me this morning standing at the back door with his rope in mouth whining. I thought he wanted to play. However as soon as the door was opened the rope was dropped and he bee lined it for the cool tile.

On days like this I miss my East Coast Southern roots. To be on the beach soaking up the sun and listening to the ocean pound the shore, or on a screened in porch drinking sweet iced tea. Oh My!

Enjoy your day.
