School's out for Summer

 The first Monday of summer vacation was SO lovely.  I really treasure the change of pace. Instead of starting the day with waking and rushing and packing, we slept in (a little), cooked together,

ate a delicious, leisurely breakfast,

did some work, theirs

and mine, 

 swam 

and then, slept again.  Wake up and repeat.  Oh, it's going to be a good summer!!  

What are you looking forward to?

Happy Spring Equinox (Timeless Traditions)

Just be aware, that the light in these photos is so beautiful because it is reflecting off of the snow on the deck. (Note the date.) Things must be improving from here on out in the weather department.

What traditions does your family have at this time of year?
