Happy First Day of Summer!

Hope Y'all are enjoying the first few day of Summer!

I just can't believe that 6 months have already passed this year...

Is someone speeding up the clock?

Or is someone tricking me??

Anyway for the next 6 months of this year, I want to cherish every day more and live a "stop and smell the roses" style of life.

Speaking of smells....When you think of Summer, what scents do you think of?

Every morning, I water my plants and crouch down to smell the tomato leaves

It is hard to describe that how rich those leaves smell

It is deeper than Basil....

Stronger than Rosemary....

I just can't stop smelling my hands after I trim the leaves

Also I love the scents of farmer's markets

It doesn't matter which market you go to

When you get there, just close your eyes and breathe all the air in

People around you might stare at you like you are crazy but.....

Don't worry about it and just try it

You can smell all the fresh veggies, fruits, and flowers of this season

Sometimes you can smell furry friends or the big trees in the park

If it is sunny, you definitely smell the Sun!

Cherishing each day is not easy when you live a busy life

But just for a sec, you need to stop and breath in the smell of the air

It just gives you happiness and love from the earth

Have a good summer!
