Savoring Summer...

savoring summer days

morning sanctuary time 

journaling with God on my porch

kids still asleep inside

savoring summer days

afternoon lunch with a friend

concerts on the hub lawn

frozen yogurt with toppings

savoring summer days

evening poolside dinners

a glass of wine on the patio

fireflies dancing at dusk

but mostly...
savoring summer days
of watching her play
    of watching her create
she's still savoring the days 
in the magical land of Terebithia
but there are days...
    when twelve wants to take a leap 
    and cross the waters, 
       leaving childhood and summer days behind.

-drove over the mountain to drop off number one at college the other day.  listening to Ingrid Michaelson's Highway and regret letting her go.  so missing those summer days.   ...savoring today.
