and because I haven't been feeling very grateful for the 100+ degree weather.  I'm reminding myself of blessings about summer:
-watermelon, juicy and cold
-the hum and breeze of ceiling fans
-not being cold when you get out of the shower
-sun staying out for longer days
-homemade ice cream
-sound of children all day long
-smell of food cooking on the grill
-sundresses

-we have air-airconditioning

-lots of time with Ben
