It’s been a tradition now for so many years…the summertime concert series in the park. We used to go to each and every one of them, packing our wine and snacks and sitting under the stars listening to all kinds of music. The pandemic (like many things) threw a wrench in it for a while. And this summer has had rather unpredictable weather. But this weekend, we rallied—despite 95 degree temps and high humidity. We saw a tribute band which played Queen, Styx and Boston. And of course, we jumped up and danced. :)
stormy weather
This week has had so many sudden downpours, thunderstorms and shifting skies. I am always looking at the clouds, Here are some recent snaps…
on summer...
I truly don’t know how summer went so quickly this year. I’ve always enjoyed this season so much. I am a true Pisces and love anything to do with water! So I typically spend my days swimming in either the pool or the ocean, writing, reading and spending as much time outdoors as possible! Publishing is always slow in summer so I make the waiting as fun as I can!
But July started off with terrible sadness and the loss of a dear friend. I am still processing it, so I won’t write much more at the moment. Suffice it to say, we must be grateful for each day we have and live our lives as fully as possible. This is yet another reminder to let go of things that have hurt you or held you back. We are not guaranteed tomorrow.
On a lighter note, I got some good news that I will share as soon as it is official. I am taking some creative risks and pursuing some new projects, which keeps me on my toes! I love to mix it up! :)
Summer 2019 Part 1
No secret that I LOVE summer! I have been having the best time with friends-from outdoor concerts and trips to the beach to watercolors by the pool, reading, cheering on 2 different friend’s new books and just lots of time creating, writing and hanging with good people. We are a little more than halfway through—and I am so busy working on a new business idea (more to come on that!) but I am still planning on more fun ahead. :)
Summer loving'–part 2
I always walk away from summer kicking and screaming. The weather was off to a rocky start this season so I did my best to make up for it with as many trips to the pool and beach as possible. I enjoyed the local outdoor concerts under the stars, hanging with friends on the patio, cackling over David Sedaris' "Calypso", taking an inspiring online class and finally-riding a 6ft inflatable alligator in the ocean. That was an unexpected post Labor Day purchase down in Spring Lake. Yes, I am seven.
