Our relaxed pace continues into our afternoons, at least for this week. After lunch, we spend the next several hours enjoying the summer by...
climbing trees, such as this cherry tree that has seen better days...
snacking on homemade yogurt pops or freeze pops, depending on what we have in our freezer...
taking a dip in the pool (some of us dip less than others)...
practicing our instruments so we don't get too rusty over summer break...
taking catnaps on the front porch...
and in creative pursuits, such as trying new recipes,
building with Legos,
and in new nail designs.
We usually avoid doing much farm work or outdoor chores in the afternoons and do what most people did before air conditioning became available. Our century old farmhouse still has no central cooling system; although, we do break out a window unit for the really hot and humid days. Last summer was so mild in the Northeast that we only had it turned on a few times the entire season. We have already had it on more than that this summer. After the long winter we had, I am not complaining.
