a country summer and memories of the little things ...
the coolness of the grass beneath my bare feet.
drinking in the shade of a tree on a quilted blanket
as i watch as the flowers drink in the sunshine.
the bounty of garden ripe vegetables overflowing from a basket.
the cranking of the old ice cream maker as we wait with eager anticipation.
cold water from the garden hose quenching a summer thirst.
beads of sweat on the brow of a child after playing in the sun.
a welcome breeze through the open doors of the barn.
a hazy blue sky graced with puffy white clouds.
in the air is the smell of the tall field corn down a country road.
thunder ...
a late afternoon storm brews bringing big drops of warm rain.
seeing a rainbow appear as the sun returns.
the crickets coming together in song near the end of the day,
and those juicy sweet slices of watermelon as we watch the sunset.
it's in those moments when you realize that
summer is almost over
it's in those moments when you realize that
summer is almost over
and, my heart is grateful for the memory of days like this ...
driving along a country road we happened upon this old barn ...
it brought back long ago memories of summer when i was a young girl.
joining in again over at kim's cafe for texture tuesday this week.
as i was working on this image
i ended up layering it using 3 of her textures
and would love your thoughts.
i'm just not sure i've done this barn quite the justice it deserves!
thank you for dropping in, and enjoy your week!
blessings,
deborah xo
