The calendar told me today is the first day of summer.  The weather is in total agreement.  All that sunshine and blue sky just begged me to come outside.  I wasn’t in the mood to argue.  I selfishly went for a two hour leisure walk and just soaked in all the beauty around me.  The laundry wasn’t done.  The dishes are still piled up on the counter.  There were more productive things I could have applied myself to but I’m glad I went.  There’s nothing like a walk in the country to recharge my batteries.  Of course, I didn’t go alone.  No.  I brought my trusty camera with me and happily crawled in ditches to take pics of all the special things lurking there.  Enjoy!
