Summer So Far

Remember even yesterday for savoring more of what was sweet

Dear Starlight,

How’s your summer so far? I made a list of activities from my first week. Sometimes joy is felt in remembrance, even more so than in the moment of the remembered activity.

Summer So Far-

Swashbuckling boscage

Dawdling between kitchen and couch

Resting by the rushing creek

Rejoicing in cinnamon scented fields

Sweating out my salty sea

Reading more than I can remember

Crying on call

Spotting hearts in the sky

Mist hunting in mountains

Licking sticky strawberry flavored fingers

Dipping toes in icy pools

Swatting blood sucking skeeters

Counting rosy rose blooms

Hearing hummingbirds

Dressing in less plus a cowboy hat

My mom caught this picture as we trolloped my (as in beloved) VT woods together. Five acres furnished with ferns, glacier boulders, and giant oaks. Me: nemophilist.
