Never Mind the Heat.

 

 

 

Let us find a shady wady
Pretty little brook;
Let us have some candy handy,
And a picture book …

 

There all day we’ll stay and play and
Never mind the heat,
While the water gleaming, streaming,
Ripples round our feet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And we’ll gather curly pearly
Mussel shells while bright
Frightened minnows darting, parting,
Scurry out of sight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy summer days. I just can’t get enough of them. This last image just makes my heart so happy. Lovelyn, safe in daddy’s arms. So far this summer, we haven’t done anything extravagant, expensive or amazing. Just simple days with family at the blue lake or the crystal clear river. Jumping into our favorite swimming hole and cooling off at the grandparents’ cottage.  Cold freezies in the backyard and swinging on the favorite yellow swings, hung from our 100 year old maple tree. I am a firm believer that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make some amazing memories.

I think this summer, so far,  is proof positive for us.
