Blissful Summer Day

We woke up this morning to a sunny, warm, no, hot day. Hallelujah. It was just a joy to walk around with not a care in the world.

The market ladies were all smiles and t-shirts. Others were dancing at the Huex street festival. There were people swimming in the city pond.

The children started their six-week summer holiday today. Each in their own way, just slowed down and choreographed their activities according to their natural inclining. It doesn’t really matter what you do to celebrate, does it?

Elizabeth of the Woolgathering blog has been doing some lovely sketches during her family’s vacation on the east coast (I’m just guessing about the east part) of the States. For those of you still working and ignoring the call of leisure summer days, take a look at her drawings and maybe you’ll want to put down your pen, or turn off your computer, and walk out the door and enjoy some the warm breeze on your skin.

    East coast it is...

    And you are right, vacation and its contemplative pace are so restoring.

    Thanks for your kind words, which brighten the blissful week even further!
