My most favorite things of summer....

It's been a summer of discovery - through the eyes of a two year old boy.


Finding a good friend who understands what's important to a you....


Like throwing a tennis ball, knowing he will bring back to you, and only to you - Repeat!

A good puddle after a summer storm....

An ample supply of rocks (one ton of them!)... all lined up on a seawall...

Ready to throw.

As I watched Ross get ready to throw his rock, I told him to "throw it just as far as you can and watch the big splash"! Turning around and looking me square in the eye, deep in serious thought with those eyebrows furrowed, he took his stance - holding onto the gate with his left hand, rock in his right - he kicked his left foot up and threw that rock! Ker-plunk! Big splash just like a giant bullfrog makes jumping off the bank! Now I'm wondering what lifting that left foot has to do with how far that rock goes? Only a boy knows...
