Slow Moments of Summer, Part II

From the hammock, I stare up at the evening sky through the branches of the tree above.

In the soft light of our room, I light my newest candle and climb into bed to read.

I read the title story from a collection of short stories.  First to myself, then later on to Joey.  I think about it all week and decide I love it wholeheartedly.

We eat ice cream while children hula hoop and the “quirky crooner-sounds of yesteryear” play in the background.

After yoga, I walk to my car, up a quiet street with beautiful houses and legitimately hear someone playing the saxophone.

Right before bed, I play Joey a Gregory Alan Isakov song and then he plays me one by Amos Lee.

Scenes from the Weekend

So much to say about this weekend!  Mostly, I wanna tell you I-70 was our second home, which means mountain time to the max — getting to breathe in that fresh crisp air, watching Chad dominate the Tough Mudder, being serenaded by Amos Lee at Red Rocks — and it was so darn refreshing.

But also: French toast with miso-date butter (OMG!), a new backyard umbrella, BABY BUTTERNUT SQUASH (my heart can’t handle it!!!) and guys, we totally watched Game of Thrones when we got home from last night’s concert.  But the Colorado Symphony Orchestra (who backed Amos) played the theme song to end the concert and it had us so pumped up that we simply couldn’t NOT watch, right??

What a good, good, good weekend ♥
