lazy summer days

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. -John Lubbock

My sister and I had a lazy summer morning on Tuesday. And it was magnificent. My sister asked me if I wanted to ride my bike along with her as she went running. And we finally found a swimming hole that is quite close to home (within walking distance)…Catfish pond, which also was full of cattails and frogs that we named “kitten frogs” (because they sound like kittens when they croak). After overcoming our fear of being eaten by the fish that swarmed around us, we had a nice refreshing swim. I love summer. And the multi-colored dragonflies, the fluttering butterflies, the deer crashing through the bushes, the ducks, the cows….and exploring God’s amazing creation. And it’s all just a hop skip and a jump away. I’m so glad I live in the country.
