    Balmy nights when the sky is clear and you can watch for shooting stars and listen to the crickets and frogs. The smell of blooms on the breeze. Also the fact that it stays lighter later. I'm not a morning person and in the winter months I feel cheated when it gets dark early!

    Lots of things!!  Getting home from work with plenty of light left in the day to do fun stuff outside, going to the pool with the kiddos, and watching the fireflies that come out in the evening from my front porch.  Oh, and going on vacation with my family, of course!

    I love being able to walk outside....

    I love the warm weather...and being able to go out wihtout being bundled up.

    I love spending time with my grandboys....Watching the baby (just turned three) discovring how much fun a wading pool can be....

    I love the early sunrises and late sunsets...I am not allowed to drive when it is dark, so my world gets bigger in the summer....I have a lot more freedom than I do in the darker montohs.

    Frsh fruits and veggies are a treat....And Ice Cream....Yum....Cold lemonade....barbecues with the family....Soft summer nights....Light breezes that feel so good....The feeling of sun on my skin... 

     Ahhhh...Summer..It doesn't last nearly long enough!

    Warm temps, a gentle breeze and the beautiful sun (something we haven't seen much of this summer). I saw a lightning bug a few weeks ago. I haven't seen one in years!

    playing in my veggie garden aDn finding the time to be creative. Anyone who is interested. I am a breast cancer survivor(DCIS) Cancer has ravaged my family. To help me work through all of it I have decided to write a musical. I'm completely serious But musical won't be. I'm great at lyrics and I'm currenly working on that the the actual play. Could use some help from talented cancer survivors. I have no money this is a labor of love for me. And am hoping to find some kindred spirits.My mother, sister, and aunt are all cancer survivors I have one aunt who didn't survive my mother will not either . Hers is lung cancer very long story..Anyway sometimes we all know we need a good laugh and a lot of hope. I will be happy to provide details for anyone who would like to know more. I envision it as kind of a Mel brooks like treatment. I honestly think I survived to make this a  tribute to my remarkable mother who against all odds is still here but losing her  battle. I'm sincere this is no come on. If anyone has ideas or any advice or connections please let me know. Bless you all. You can reach me at ctraulsen@yahoo.com
