Summer grass planted in ground sea glass and gravel gives way under crunching tires - then springs to life again. Unrestrained shouts of summer laughter fill the air. Car doors fly open as children scatter like sandpipers along the waters edge and gulls cry out a welcome. The summer place sits as it always has, weathered and slightly salted; ready for a fresh coat of exhilarated joy! Rustic window boxes filled to the brim with a kaleidoscope of wild and unruly color. Aged lace curtains ripple gently in the breeze in need of a stitch or two. And the sweet smell of summer's bounty fills the air as the door swings wide. A summer place, safe and warm, rain or storm. A place a family shares. All their hopes. All their dreams. All their love.
Happy Fourth of July!
Sincerely,
Susie ~
