Summer Sunflowers

The lazy days of summer.

A time when we are grateful to be gathered together and yet happily go in different directions.
For some, this means daily.

For me, I believe that there is such a thing as sacred idleness.

Days of undoing to balance the days of doing too much.

Between the alfresco lunches, laughter & laundry -

Lovely languid moments to look closely at life.

Like grace, these moments should be savored.

Before the long days of summer take a final bow.

I hope your summer days have been filled with the moments that you love.  A special thank you to Alison, Lauren & Amanda for planting the seeds & growing beautiful sunflowers every single summer!
