summer...

Ah, June~ and today is the first official day of summer.

I love, love, love this time of year.

I love the Texas heat, the long days, the beautiful mornings

and the slower pace of summertime.

My son leaves for Navy boot camp in 48 days and this

has lent a sense of urgency to these days, though.

I am trying prepare myself to say good-bye.

I am finding some time for creating, using lots of seashells,

and working in summery hues. 

Mostly I am savoring these fleeting days.

"Summer afternoon... to me those have always been

 the two most beautiful words in the English language."
