a love letter to july
Tuesday, August 11, 2020 My dearest July,
I realize that it is August 11, and my heart has moved on to love this beautiful month. But I want you to know that you gave me some of the most incredible summer days that I have ever had the pleasure of living.
Your cool mornings alone at the pool are by far and away my favorite way to start a day. July, please know that your weather is far and away the most special to me. You were so wonderful to give us days for the men to work on building our lovely kitchen. (If only you could have made them work faster.) While I'm cooking and baking, in our new kitchen, I will think back to when the scraping and pounding filled most of your week days.
You welcomed my girl home and then my oldest boy. Their presence is welcome anytime, but you do know how to give us so much love and light! Your sunshine gave the hydrangeas just enough warmth to blossom into a beautiful bounty of gorgeousness.
I want you to know, July, that I care so deeply about you, still. That you and I held something so precious that it will never fade and you will always occupy a place in my heart as well as my mind.
With all the warmth and love I can give.
Leslie
