lunch and a simple summer bucket list . . .

There is something about summer that just relaxes me and motivates me at the same time.  It isn't just because I am off work (although I am sure that helps) . . . I believe it is more than that.  Whatever it is . . . I am making the most of it.  We want to take a few small trips this summer, but mostly I want to just stay close to home and do the things we like to do . . . and enjoy every minute that I can.    

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; 

and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
