Our Summer started off rather cool in June and only heated up at the start of July. The heat was briefly blistering before rains set in to keep lawns green. It’s pretty hot and humid this week but I’ve not yet tired of the ease of Summer weather, which allows me to slip outside without worry. The days seem relaxing as they fade into one another. I thought about the pace of Summer as I enjoyed the shade at Colonial Park the other day.
We’ve reached the point when Summer Break is halfway over and I’ve begun to think about the return to school in September. It’s far enough away that I know there is still time to enjoy the relaxed pace of sunny Summer days. But it’s also close enough that I’ve begun to regret that Summer will come to a halt. It’s been a really nice Summer, far more relaxing than last Summer and filled with the promise of a busy but happy Fall to come. The familiar gardens and paths of Colonial Park have provided me with plenty of pleasant strolls and more than a few quiet moments in the shade. I am grateful for this Summer and I want to say it out loud; to mark my gratitude. As I stroll the rose garden and smell the flowers I often feel at peace and that's awfully nice.
