Summer Blessings

Tonight is the last night of summer vacation,
and while I'm excited to begin a new year with fresh first grade faces,
I'm somewhat nostalgic for the months past.
I take this time to share some simple summer blessings with you:

floating in a swimming hole
lying under flowers so that hummingbirds feed over your head
Penn State Creamery ice cream
going a-journey
mocha chocolate milk
reading on the couch, or on the porch, or in the yard
jeep rides
collecting Japanese beetles
friends visiting
a walk through the chicken barn at the fair
fresh raspberries
the Hazen flea market
calling someone you love
Swedish rye bread, toasted, with cheese
wading
good conversation
looking closely at a dragonfly
oooohing at meteors
appreciating what is set before you each day,
no matter what the season.

What would you add to the list?
