As I sip on my iced coffee this morning, the neighborhood is very quiet. I can hear birds chirping, an eagle calling, and doves cooing. The flowers have beautiful butterflies fluttering around, taking a sip of their nectar. My fountain is nearly lulling me to sleep. Sleep was hard to come by last night as I have a pretty good sunburn from spending hours on the lake on a 90 degree day. I believe a nap may be in store later today.
My flowers are in full bloom today. They will be fighting against near and over 100 degree temps the next few days, so I am trying to keep them very well hydrated.
My front porch (and my doorbell) has been a little lonely lately. The eight year old neighbor boy who would visit my front porch, flowers, and me several times a day, moved out to the country. We would have long conversations about bugs, animals, bb guns, snakes, his bike, church, God, flowers and gardening, and his adventures for each day. I am sure he's more than busy with his brothers, catching bugs and snakes on their property this summer.
It's very hard to believe it's already the week of July 4th. I sit here and think of how fast time is going by and get dizzy! Enjoy each moment of every day you are given, time goes by quickly and each day is a precious gift. Spend some time on your front porch, or back deck, and just listen to the sounds, see the beauty, take in life.
