“Every summer there are a number of nights, not many, but a number when everything is perfect. The light, the warmth, the smells, the mist, the birdsong – the moths. Who can sleep? Who wants to?”
― Fredrik Sjöberg, The Fly Trap: A Book about Summer, Islands and the Freedom of Limits
Summer happenings
Time in my garden.-I've had so many
visitors in my garden these past few days. The rain has brought moisture and
new life. Bumblebees, baby birds, butterflies, caterpillars and
hummingbirds.-They all stop by for a brief hello and go on their way.
Arranging flowers. - My daughter has been
making her very own flower arrangements from the garden. We snip a few flowers
together. She's always prepared, wearing her tiny little garden gloves. Soon
after, she arranges her flowers.-Just the way she wants them. It's beautiful and
I'm glad she enjoys her arrangement.
The weather is warm. - We still have days
that the rain comes to visit. On warm days, I brew tea and place it on the
kitchen window. Normally I place it out back on the porch. -The weather is perfect
for it!
Bubbles. - We can't get enough of
bubbles. We've been sitting out back in the evenings blowing bubbles with our
daughter. We really enjoy this time with her.
Grilling and Baking. - We have been
grilling out back most of this summer. Preparing different dishes. Lately, I've
really enjoyed our grilled bacon-wrapped asparagus. It's so delicious. Our
daughter thought for a while that she was eating green beans. - She soon found
out what it really was and she loved it! I haven't baked much lately. But
recently I made a simple cake with sprinkles on top. It's an evening dessert
that we seem to enjoy. :)
Pregnancy- Recently at my doctor's, visit -the baby's head is now facing down. I'm experiencing a lot more pressure than
I did with my daughter. I'm Currently 34 weeks and just recently had our first
appointment with our doula. She was able to provide some valuable information.
I've been working on a few different breathing techniques and stretches. I
recently finished reading Doulas, written by Susan Ross. If you're ever
considering having a doula during labor and delivery, definitely a good read.
I hope you all are having a wonderful
summer. A warm hello and welcome to my new readers. I appreciate all of my
readers for coming along and sharing my blogging journey with me. :)
