These Summer Days

Walk in the rain,

Smell flowers,

stop along the way,

build sandcastles,

go on field trips,

find out how things work,

tell stories,

say the magic words,

trust the universe.

These words sum up our summer perfectly. I've been busy crafting, working on articles and books, and completely enjoying time with my family. The garden is in full swing, school is starting back, and we are going to take a couple of days to ourselves to enjoy these last precious moments of freedom. I'll be catching up with my blogging friends as well. Next week I'll be back and with that comes "Gnome Week". If you have a gnomey little project you'd like to have highlighted here please send me an email valarie at hotmail dot com or leave a comment. We'll be diving into the summer world of gnomes. I can hardly wait. Until then have a great week.

  4. Forget Shark week. I’m excited for GNOME WEEK!(and I hear it’s waaaaay better).
    my small girl was a gnome for halloween last year. I’ll have to dig up a pic, because the costume was SO EASY to make, anyone could do it for any occasion, like, say gnome week. I can send you written instructions, too.

  8. Hi Joy! Thanks for your nice words about my flowers. They’ve done much better than my vegetable garden. It’s been so hot here. Hope all is well.
