I had only just arrived and begun to put out the cushions (which I was sure would get lots of use over the next day or so) when the rest of the gang arrived.
For the past week or so, I've been anticipating this short visit with parents and some friends, and finally here it is. The weather is glorious and the camraderie flows easily between us all. Whether we are in the throws of conversation, or simply dozing by the pool, there is time for each one to simply soak up the goodness of a summer's day.
We've been waiting for sun and heat for quite some time now, and finally it seems as though the clear skies and the heat of the sun are lulling us into a lethargy that rejuvenates the soul.
I know that eventually even this little oasis must give way to other demands of life, but for the moment, I'll just soak it all in, and when the evening beckons the end of another day, we'll wake the ones who are perpetually sleeping, inviting them to curl up and return to the slumber that refreshes.
