More gratitude. More hope. More love. #23 (summer lovin')



...had me a blast...summer lovin' happened so fast.

There's no mistaking that Summer has arrived; warmer, lighter days that extend into the early evening and wild evening thunderstorms. Yesterday was one of the hottest days on record for this time of year and I coped oh so badly! Humidity and heat never used to bother me, I used to seek it out, but since I've had chronic fatigue it really tires me out and leaves me wiped out. So I spent the day mostly tucked away inside, cooling down with mint ice cubes and this kind of like ice-cream blend I made in the evening... frozen almond milk, fresh vanilla, raspberries and a hint of xylitol for sweetness. Delicious. 

Aside from the odd too hot to handle day I treasure Summer for the long days and care free spirit it brings. The shedding of heavy clothes, evening swims, salt water on skin, magical sunsets, road trips, dancing outdoors, picnics, lazy days reading in the shade, cooling down in the darkness of the cinema and all the richly coloured summer fruits....oh how I love cherries, nectarines, straws and raspberries.

So for this new season I am grateful.
