Every beautiful shade of blue, turquoise and sea foam green are the dominant colors this time of year. Chirping cicadas are loud and constant in the heat; farmers are out working early, and late into the long afternoons throughout Yomitan Village, donned with sun hats and umbrellas; the East China Sea is as warm as bath water. And oh, the fresh produce and fruits that adorn the farmer’s markets!
These are all things I love and will remember about Okinawan summers.
Being our last one here, we’re totally savoring it.
Fresh picked from our ever-generous, loving, hilarious neighbors.
We’re so thankful for them !
Our potted garden, producing gems
We had plans this weekend to work on the baby’s room… but instead, went to the Grundens for an awesome dinner Saturday night and spent the rest of it just the two of us. Cam taught me how to play chess, which turned into an all-day game on the beach. Our backs are burned from so intently leaning over trying to beat each other. Noo, we’re not competitive or anything… (;
Hope you all had a great first weekend of summer!
