First day of summer

Today marks the first day of summer.  

And it was a spectacular day, one of those perfect days when you wake 

and can see the sunshine and blue sky before you even open the curtains.  

I love this time of year - there is a real energy to December, 

with the excitement of the holidays coming, and the promise of all that is summer....

long evenings, running through the sprinkler, barefeet, picnics, 

driving with the windows open and the music up.......summer, hello you.
