I like this idea of doing nothing, and like you I have a long list of "to-dos" for the summer. Folks ask, "What are your summer plans?" or "Are you going away?" and it makes me feel like I have to have grand plans and a fabulous destination. I want to finish my manuscript revisions, and my website copy, work in my garden and go to the beach. Even that seems like alot!

Love this! My family and I live in Atlanta, but we just spent some time with family in North Carolina, and I got to see fireflies for the first time in forever. I definitely took them for granted when I was growing up in Ohio. I resonate so much of how your summers look then versus now. This post is a great reminder to find ways to go back!
