Thinking About Summer

A favorite photograph from a trip to Lake Champlain recently is a thinking image. There are scenes to admire and scenes to think about, draw you in for a ponder.

Think about picnic benches. They are there for folks to sit, rest, have a meal, and enjoy life. 

As people watching perches, they provide permission to view. Via technology and creative minds, this is the first time like this in human history where globally, people are sharing and performing for each other. 

Having meals outdoors when the weather allows is an important part of summer. As kids, packing up a picnic was always exciting. We were part of something. We were going some place. We were going to have fun. There is no cooking indoors that has that sense of adventure. 

Plan summer excursions outdoors where there’s a public picnic bench. Enjoy life.

The weather here in upper northwest New England has been beautiful this week, read under the shade of a tree perfect. So off to the library I go for a good book to read.

For two titles I’m on the waiting list. The third is a charm,  presently waiting for me to go back outside and get it out of my vehicle.  🥴
