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.

2017 Summer Bucket List

It is only the 7th of June but we’ve already hit the ground running.  Literally, because I’ve been running outside in the mornings and if you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you know that this makes me INSANELY happy, and figuratively, because Joey and I already hit up Film on the Rocks — you haven’t lived until you’ve watched Dirty Dancing with a amphitheater full of people cheering, singing and dancing along! — and it’s going to be NINETY-FOUR degrees on Saturday.

No doubt about it, SUMMER IS HERE.  So the real question is, what are we bucket listing this year??
