This post was originally started on my mom's birthday in the early spring. I'd been remembering an odd assortment of things from my childhood. Summer images. The way a certain yard looked with tall, bushy shrubs, long un-mowed grass that would swish as you walked through it, cellar doors on the side of a white cottage leading to a dark unknown below. A little ditch that ran alongside the yard, overflowing on irrigation day, creating a fun place to cool off. A thin wire fence, the kind that curved gracefully at the top like little hills running along one after the other. Smells of hot summer air, grass, fading flowers. Sounds of push mowers and from a home somewhere in the distance, a power mower. Hollyhocks standing tall, a huge bumblebee slowly making it's way from flower to flower. Images, scents, and feelings imprinted into my memories. Bits of summers past. Sweetness. Serenity. Summertime.

I remember days on our farm, the animals...riding bikes, coming in at dusk...

Those are nice memories! Thanks for always stopping by my little blog. Summer has been busy, so have done even less writing than usual. Hope all is well with you! Hugs! :)
