Monday was summer in the northern Rockies – I hope you got out and enjoyed it. Too bad it didn’t happen on a weekend.
I also heard there were winter storm warnings around, and two days have ended with severe storm warnings, rain, wind and hail. 
Ah, but Monday was sunny and positively hot. The boss insisted on getting things done outside; she always says something like: “it’s summer up north, get outside and enjoy it while you can – it won’t last long!”
So she was busy planting, pulling, watering, mowing. After 2 days of carefully watering all the new little trees, garden plants, of course it would rain. I know this, so thought it best to lay in the shade and watch.
I also went to the creek several times for a cooling dip. It was a great day.
But I really have been as busy as a pup with two tails. I help with everything. That expression “make hay while the sun shines,” would be easier to do if hay was the only task we had! 
But the job is everything outside.
All I can do is find joy in the urgency, loving every moment in this brief sweet season.
And grab as many quick dips and shady naps as I can!
“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
And summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22
