Now that the boys are on summer vacation we're right back to our routine of swimming every day in the backyard, I love so much that we can swim in our backyard...I love being surrounded by trees and flowers and plants and bushes and and and...I'm sure you know ordinary nature thrills me if you've followed my blog so I won't go on.

We go out depending on when the tide is high. It's a good week this week because the tide is up during the day. Today it was beautifully high at 11am, so down we went...

Always have to test the water first...

It was really hot outside, so they had no hesitation of getting right in the water today.

Through this blog I've said that we go swimming every day in the summer. No. Only the boys go swimming every day. I'll put my feet in or wade in on really hot days, but usually I can be found...

And what about their other brother? Well, he's sleeping still lol :D Teenagers! I'm sure he was happy to miss the photo shoot too.

I'm so grateful to live here...in peace and simplicity.
