It has been a strikingly cool May so far, and the forecasts all call for a cooler than normal summer. I am not complaining one bit. I have drawn closer to nature during this time, marveled at everything in Creation, and enjoyed my family and my few close friends.

I am looking forward to a beautiful summer, and I hope to get a lot of work done around the house and to help with my sisters kids. Children see things so simply. It doesn't take much for them to supply be filled to the brim with joy, and they have such a raw innocence. I always find time around children to be life giving.
