I find myself acting more like a child in these settings, feeling carefree and relaxed. I call this feeling "Bliss," and my summer is full of it. It is in the Summer Season that my hankering for the casual lifestyle is strongest, but I also delight in the pretty.
My cottage fresh style is never so carefree as in Summer, with fresh flowers straight from the garden, white tablecloths, with white sparkly lights, and candles on the picnic table on the back deck.
I find it exciting to drift beautifully into well-mannered "rooms" in my garden during the sultry evening hours of summer.
Of course, there is the Play Room in the middle of the Grassy Knoll of the Back Yard,
which is always abuzz with crazy activity

“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that
it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and
gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the Whole and Hidden Heart of your
life, because in the last analysis, all moments are Key Moments, and Life
itself Is Grace.”
-Frederico Bucherno, 1854
