Day 168

Campfires make good story places.

Grateful for fires in the summer

Its the summer, its time for many nights of nothing to do except imagine, tell stories, and be together with those we love.
During the school year, we are all rushed and pressed for time.
Trying to get assignments done, trying to get the projects and reports done for school.  The spelling test words gone over.  The math lessons for the week...studied and checked.
Summer.  Thank God for summer.  It gives us much needed time to just be.
The grass under our bare feet.  The fireflies flying around to be caught and put in a mason jar with holes in the lid.
Fishing, finding frogs, and just looking at the stars.
Swimming in the lake, the pool, and feeling the warm sunshine on our faces.
And at night, sitting around a campfire with friends and family...telling stories and sharing food and drink.
And most importantly, smores.
How we love summer.
Thank you summer 2011, for finally getting here.

We needed you.
