it's no surprise: i love where i live! so much so, sometimes it's hard to make myself leave during my usual world of home being a place to sleep, shower, and pack a lunch in the revolving door that can be the school year. but summer's another matter altogether.
i entertain myself so much that i barely realize sometimes that 72 hours have gone by and i haven't left my nest because it's filled with so much fun cooking, sewing, reading, drawing, painting, writing, practicing music...
...in the name of community, however, i do also love going out and about, doing errands in different places from usual, driving a new way home, supporting the local coffee and bbq pork sandwich economy, and connecting spontaneously with people.
there's plenty of time to play with small children on the swings, nap in the shade, bike to farmer's markets to buy fresh vegetables--eat ALL of the berries in your pint and have to go back to the farmer's market!--and lounge on neighborly front porches for afternoon iced tea. in honor of july (31 days uninterrupted by school!) here are some photos from both my staying in and going out time.
*for over a couple of years i've been meaning to photograph our old mill and also the herringbone pattern of the tire stacks just before my turnoff. so, in the spirit of not just talking about things but doing them, today i finally stopped with my camera.
