June

So here it is, the first day of June. 

Summer beckons.

Vacation plans wait to be finalized.

And always, always, always, there's the dishes, and the laundry, and the cooking.

June is here. And with it comes a general hankering to welcome summer and the illusion of slower days.


Here's what we're hoping to see this month:

• haircuts!
• birthdays!
• rhubarb, and more rhubarb, and more rhubarb
• kitchen floors painted
• sewing (more of Anna Maria Horner's Quick Change Trousers! This dress! This shirt??)
• our first order of grass-fed beef 
• fishing at the park
• grilling at the lake
• Vacation Bible School
• s'mores

For sure there will be much, much more. But we'll take it one day at a time ... and breathe. And when we can't breathe, we'll go inside and give thanks for air conditioning.

And all will be well.
