With every degree the temperature rises, I feel my soul defrosting. It turns out I need more than just a sunny day; I need all the warmth that comes from summer. Like a turtle poking its head out of its shell, I turn my face upwards to absorb all of the energy the sun provides. I arrange the patio furniture, prep the garden, and hang the wind chimes. My dog follows me around with anticipation. He too looks forward to afternoons spent together outside in the shade. We are summer buddies who prefer being outside taking in all we can from long summer days. We are just at the beginning when everything is fresh and new and the possibilities are endless. Breathe it all in.
5/23
more than just a tree
support arm for holding dreams
soaring through the air
5/24
new friend in the yard
little buddy for us all
needs no maintenance
5/25
music in the air
calm sound restores energy
with just gentle breeze
