Summering Begins : June

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

- Louis Armstrong 

How we love summer!  Finding wild mulberries, visits from critters and visits with friends.  Creekin' and fishing.  Sketching and swimming.  Sunsets and sleepovers.  Gloriously long days. and good sleeps.  A gift of a gum ball machine.  And homemade almond milk.

Jupiter kisses the moon.
