nuggets: summerish. summery.
July 18, 2012

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

Photobucket

mostly naked, storytelling kids,

Photobucket

stuck-together skin snuggles

Photobucket
Photobucket

rainbow lightening and purple skies,

iced, spiked beverages

Photobucket

breathless river leaps,

Photobucket

garden growth, kid growth,

Photobucket

moths headbanging to the rhythm of electricity,

grilled dinner,

Photobucket

HOT afternoons,

Photobucket

fresh, regional food,

adventures,

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 🙂

My girls roughly the same age have been doing that trip this week too. They pack their bags and travel to San Diego together. Someday right? Wish they could stay this age forever.
