happy june!

It doesn't feel like June.  Yesterday we had a massive rain storm - our driveway flooded - water everywhere.  I was a little concerned about our roof but, upstairs remained dry.  After the storm pushed through the sun came out to shine and we ran outdoors to bask in the glory.  We tested out the new chaise lounges we bought for our anniversary.  I am finding myself grabbing more and more opportunities to lay prone during the day.  I could bathe in A5-35 and be very happy.   For some crazy, unknown reason my sciatic nerve is acting up.  It has got to the most brutal, annoying pain I have ever experienced.  It gnaws and is relentless.  It commands attention and it takes every ounce of mental energy to move past it and keep on keeping on.  It floods me with horrific memories of when I was in hospital.  The bottom line is my L3-5 joints are slowing crushing together.... need to keep doing my exercises to prevent further damage.  This is a BIG wake up call. 

I like the month of June.  As much as I loved school, I loved the feeling that we were going to get a break from the regular routine.  As  a parent I love the fact that I don't have to make lunches.  I love the longer days... and the knowledge that they will continue to get longer.   I love the anticipation of full on summer holidays.  I love that we can eat outside.  And drink lemonade and eat popsicles.  I love reading in the twilight.  I celebrate by wearing no socks and hauling out the flip flops.  And eating lettuce from my garden. 

What do you love about June?
