Awake with the birds, watching the sun rise on the lake, feeling the gentle warmth of the early morning air on my skin… a sense of timelessness and slowing down, even in the busy pace of a full day… the freshest meal, straight from the garden… a gentle evening, filled with the murmur of bullfrogs, illuminated by a vivid pink sky, and giving way to the flitting weightlessness of bats in the moonlight.
It was the epitome of summer.
