Summer, in the Beginning

June is here! June is here! The sun is warm, the rain is nourishing, the earth is green and summer has arrived. Hallelujah! Of course summer is never as relaxed as it seems like it will be when I look forward to it in January, so I'm trying to absorb every sun-soaked minute. The beginning of summer images:

New annuals by the mailbox



Fluffy cottonwood seeds after a few breezy days




Candy necklace residue after a family outing downtown and a trip to the Peanut Store



Exposed baby rolls



Oma and Grandpa's front porch



Sundresses


Sun bonnets


Sweaty afternoon naps



...and a summer evening's perfect mate.


Happy June!

What a nice cross section of early summer life!
I would like to sniff and squeeze and sip every part of it!
