The first sweet light of summer

It’s almost here. Or, it is here, but lightly; just an outline, a silver-gold sliver shining on the edge of each object I look at. And, oh how there is so much to look at. Belly down, nose inches from the leaves. On tiptoe, reaching last what we can usually see. Having children changes the way you look at things. This summer will be our most expansive yet- a summer of deep breaths, fresh air, wide open spaces and a moment or two to kick up our feet and just look around.
