The sights, sounds and smells of summer

The smell of freshly cut green grass

The clean, fresh scent of the air after a summer rain

The sound of the Red-winged Blackbird

The beauty of a field of corn

An icy glass of fresh, homemade lemonade!

Watching a Red-tailed Hawk soaring across the sky

Seeing a field filled with lightning bugs

The beauty of the stars in the sky

The pinks and blues of the sunset

The silent glide of an owl

Summer is a treat for the senses!

 

About Ruth

I am married to Dave, my long lost love. We have 3 beautiful, wonderful daughters, and a home filled with peace and joy! I began writing gratitude lists about 15 years ago, and they have made a huge difference in my life. By taking the time to notice all the amazing goodness in my life, I open myself to receiving even more good. I've also found many new and wonderful friends through the gratitude community.

  1. Those are beautiful….I’d like to add:
    The sparkling water on a quiet lake…
    The off in the distance hooting of an owl on a warm summer night…
    The rush of waves along the sandy beach…
    The sweet fragrance of a fresh cut rose…
    The hot pink color of the wave petunia spreading through the flower beds…
    The splash of little kids in a cool pool on a hot summer day…
    THANKS for your inspirations…you are one amazing lady…

  2. Ruth, thank you for carrying me away with your beautiful list of America in all its senses and serenity! Wonderful!
    *hugs* Jean
