Summer

It's hard to believe that June is almost over and the daylight hours will now begin to wane as the summer solstice is now past.  I have been having a hard time transitioning into a summer routine. Or, more accurately, I should say it's been harder to get work done in this transition to summer.

Not much is getting done on the to-do list (a few things are) as we have been enjoying some long hikes in our surrounding foothills, . . .

I've been enjoying the abundance of flowers this year (and taking lots of pictures of them), . . .

have been processing the abundance of serviceberries from our tree (I can only hope the vegetable garden will do as well, but it's not looking like it yet), . . .

and reading books.  I am trying to remember to enjoy this time and not get too worried about that to-do list sitting on my desk.  But I really should be getting into the studio more . . . after I finish my book. :)

Has your summer been zooming by?  Do you notice a change in your behaviors with the changing of the seasons?
