how to say goodbye to vermont : lake swimming

classes ended today...and i was especially sad to see my milton class come to an end {more on that later}.
what a beautifully difficult summer i've had. whoo. big sigh. can't believe tomorrow i head home.

so.very.excited.

this afternoon a few of us headed to some mountain water to refresh our minds and bodies
in the cool water and sleep and snooze in the sun. these past few weeks have been a whirlwind,
and it's rather jarring for it to come to a complete halt. i think my breath is still trying to catch up.

i'm off to find some lovelies to play the guitar and sing with on one of our porches.
should be a wonderfully low-key evening.

see you in a couple of days...back in my mountains.

every summer needs a swimming hole

i think this weekend summer finally showed up:

swimming holes, birthday parties, eating every meal outside,

sitting on picnic blankets, snapping lots of photos,

and actually wearing shorts.

i'm finally warming up to summer...as long as suffocating heat doesn't come my way.

...summer...

saturday a group of us went swimming in the very cold, but refreshing, mountain waters. it felt oh so wonderful. it really felt like summer to get out of the classroom and library.

hope your summer is going swimmingly!
