Summer

 Benjamin is enjoying his summer day...

 We went outside to play this morning.  He was picking up plums off the ground and eating them devouring them.  He got thirsty from all his playing and asked for a drink of water.  His sweet mama got him a glass.  A few minutes later, he said to me,

"See Mimi.  This is a plum.  I'm gonna put it in my water and it'll be a water plum!"  You may notice 3 water plums and one pit in the jar above. 

 He continually added to and took away from his jar of water plums.

 Then he said, "Mimi, I'm the squish guy!"

 

Sure enough, he was.  He was running and jumping on the little plums, squishing them to smithereens.

 He squished plums on the sidewalk, on the grass and in the woodchips.

 He called to tell someone all about it.  I'm not sure who he called.

 Back to the water plums...

 He has been loving playing with this little tractor.  He got it at his friend, Davin's, birthday party.  He was loading and unloading the bucket with dirt, with water plums, with wood chips....

 Here's what he wanted for lunch...a fresh, juicy, tomato!  YUM! 

 He does love his tomatoes!

 Summer weather at Benjamin's house has been absolutely gorgeous since I've been here.  He decided to close the screen door... Wow, screen doors...you don't see  that many people with them anymore.

 He was excited when his mama pointed out that there were fresh figs on the tree...

 His mama had some of those for part of her lunch...

 There is a slight breeze blowing their windchimes...

 Oops..Benjamin played a little too hard with the tractor...it ended up in pieces...

"Fix it, Mimi," he asked.
It wasn't fixable.

Back to his tomato...

Summer is such a relaxing and refreshing time.  I just love this time of year...
