1.  going to get ice cream with grandsons, Nate and Andrew

2.  reading lots of autobiographies this Summer, now a wonderful biography of the fabulous Dr.Seuss

3.  our book club on Fire Starter Sessions by Danielle LaPorte — a wowzer of a book!  It is empowering and fun!

4.  the Akron Symphony free concert at a park – oh my!

5.  seeing fun movies for free at the library — last Sunday was “The Lorax”

6.  tending and observing miracle flowers in our garden —

7.  enjoying other people’s gardens

8.  hiking with my daughter, Maribeth

9.  doing a Zentangle series of sunshines

10.  the millions of baseball games I got to watch when my grandsons did Little League this Summer — kids’ baseball is the absolute best!

11.  going to all kinds of concerts this Summer with my Dad – he’s 95 and appreciates all kinds of music, although when I asked him how he liked one avant garde blues concert, he said it was “voluminous cacophony”!!!!

12.  making fairy gardens, especially last night at a local workshop — miniature roses, a fern, thyme, hens and chicks, a little white bench, a fairy gazing ball, a little lantern, some pebbles, beautiful stones, and a clay piece with “love” on it!!

I think I could make a list of 100 things that have been wonderful about this Summer!  I feel utterly grateful.
