Summer Stride...

 

We are carving out a stride as the summer days go by...finding a rhythm.  We hide from the heat, seek out the water, bury our noses in books.  We stay up too late.  We declare it's quiet time (and hope for the best).  Children tip-toe down stairs and beg to sleep on the couch or the floor.  I give in most of the time.  Why not?  All in all the summer seems simpler now that the kids are getting older.  I can work from home and set them up for a few hours with a solo craft project or a book and then we can settle into a family trip or project in the afternoon.  Mind you, it's only June...but so far the prospects look good for a nice, lazy summer...just as it should be.
