♩♫♪ It's Summertime...

...and the living is easy... ♫♩♪♬
I know it's not really summertime yet, but it sure feels like it here. We are enjoying quite warm weather but the humidity is lacking, which means we are spending every morning outside.
Usually on our back porch, but this morning we went to the beach before it got crowded.
It was wonderful, not too hot with a nice breeze and the water had that perfect temperature when you can stay in the ocean for a very long time... As soon as we got into the water, the dolphins appeared really close to us. In fact, they were so close to Daniel that he could hear their "chatter." A very special moment!
Now that we have returned from our camping trip, I find that I am holding on to that inward feeling as long as I can. I am reading a lot, doing art again,
hardly talking on the phone, I'm only on the computer a couple of times a day and not for long,
I'm taking time to exercise while listening to audio books, I'm enjoying preparing meals, and most of all I love spending relaxed time with Daniel.
Crazy days will return soon enough, so I'm going to milk these quiet pre-summer days for as long as I can...

I hope you are all having a relaxed day today!!

  13. I noticed that too, Silke, even with the high temps, the humidity has not been that bad at all...and I think it's even too hot for the mosquitoes because they have not been pestering me as much as usual! Thank God for small favors ;-)
