Wishin' on Summer

After looking outside to see the sun greet me good morning, I cannot say that I'm disappointed yesterday's snow is melting. I'm fantasizing about summer: warm weather; hours of endless sunshine; beach walks, listening to the ocean lap against the shore, feet buried in hot sand; swimming in the lake; completing summer class homework sprawled out on blanket on our lawn; adventuring on nature trails, my camera in hand; photo shoots with friends - just for fun; painting and drawing whatever inspires my mind; blogging until my fingers fall off; seeing my friends and family, making wonderful memories with every second spent; watching afternoon turn to night by the light of a fire, my nose buried in a book while stars emerge overhead; finally getting around to some serious work on those books of mine; reuniting with my Kids Can Grow family and exercising my good friend, Green Thumb; daily meditation without time limit (rather: as long as it suits my fancy); putting my nose to the grind stone when it comes to my own business; yard sales on Saturdays and every bit of unplanned adventure that falls in between. I seriously cannot wait.

I should've known that sitting in sunshine, looking through last
year's photography would've left me thirsty for salty shores.

  1. We got a little tease of spring in Atlanta last week, but now it's cold again. It can't warm up soon enough! Have a good weekend :)

    1. I just caught this evening's news and it looks like this is also our little tease of spring. If only it could stay! Arctic freeze is headed back this way for next week. I guess winter isn't done yet. ;) But I agree - it can't warm up soon enough!

      Have a great weekend yourself, lovely!

  2. Oh my gosh, I can't wait until the summer either. It doesn't help that this winter has been the most brutal one that I can remember! Let's just hope that the summer is a lot warmer.

    1. Nice to meet you, Dolce! Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your stay! :)

      This winter has been incredibly brutal. It has been crazy! I think we're all at our wits end, awaiting for warmer weather - craving it even. Fingers crossed for a warm, sunshine filled summer! You hear that, Mother Nature? We endure winter for you, you give us a warm summer. It's a win-win.

      Love your blog! Thanks for sharing it.
      Good luck on your giveaway!

  3. You just made me that much more excited for summer!! :). This winter can not end soon enough! My sister says that it is going to be below zero tonight where we live, which is insane considering it was like 50 degrees a few days ago and is March lol. I actually just wrote about a post on my blog about my current spring state of mind :). Great post!

    1. Yay! I'm glad we can be super excited about summer together. :) It has been a long winter, with far too many sub-zero days and nights. (It's funny you mentioned that below zero day and then 50 degree day fluctuation. I was just telling a friend about how a few years ago we were having a heat wave during this week - whereas we're back to arctic freeze this year!) Spring starts tomorrow, so I'm hoping Mother Nature got that memo. I hope it warms up where you are!

      Just checked out your blog post. I love it! (I really, really want that beautiful nail polish now, too. I feel like I'm going to be going on a polish hunt very soon.)

      Thank you for stopping by!
