nuggets: bits of the season in photos and words about the last week
So these nuggets are perhaps *more* than the last week. But, they are Summer. And, in Summer, time is different. Summerish. Summery. To me, those words describe
deep, perpetual warmth,
breezy windows,
mountain runs,
funky outside toes,
funky outside toes, inside
homemade mayo
malleable earth,
spontaneous shared meals,
wild, sun-kissed hair
mostly naked, storytelling kids,
stuck-together skin snuggles
rainbow lightening and purple skies,
iced, spiked beverages
breathless river leaps,
garden growth, kid growth,
moths headbanging to the rhythm of electricity,
grilled dinner,
HOT afternoons,
fresh, regional food,
adventures,
“Hey mom. Bye. We are going trippin’ to an international school in San Francisco. We’ll be gone for three weeks without our mom and dad. Don’t worry. We’re old enough. I’m like seven. I’ll take care of Ruby.”
Awe, thanks Missoula! xo

I think I have an identical “make believe” picture on my camera right now. Same kind of table and our “backyards” look so similar. I Hope your days keep on keepin on being summery.
I love your writing style! In an Australian winter presently I wish for summer…then when you write in winter I wish for that. Each season is a celebration to be appreciated for all it offers 🙂
