Summer is over, Labor Day has passed and everyone is now back in school. It's already starting to get dark earlier here in Brighton. The days are getting shorter and the summer adventures are now just a memory.
Summer adventures for our family used to always include a visit to the farm. Grandpa and Grandma would orchestrate opportunities to get the eggs from the chickens, feed the pigs, gather fresh veggies from the garden, ride the four-wheeler, and go fishing. As young girls, we learned how to make holly hock dolls, blow bubbles with dish soap and celery sticks, and I even got a legit piggy-back ride one time.
I suppose it is the lingering heat after the final days of summer that has reminded me of such memories recently - that and scrolling through old pictures from when we were kids. On this Throwback Thursday, if you too are filled with a flood of fun memories from summers and childhood, thank God for those blessings and the ways that it shaped you. If, however, your childhood was a little tougher and the good memories are hard to come by, be blessed to know that each day is a new day and a new opportunity to make memories with your family now.
Take a moment to reflect on a fun memory from this past summer and, if you can, leave a comment sharing the story here.
