Summer's Greeting by Destiny Skubis

Summer’s Greeting 

Our time apart was long and strange, 

Though times unsure, we have remained 

One circle of friends 

A community strong 

Our hearts are bonded 

We sing loud our song, 


Together we greet the summer days 

We soak in the sun and feel the rain 

Though times unsure, we have remained 

A place of wonder 

Of magic and laughter 

We’re here again to find what matters, 


In each day we feel alive 

May we greet the sun high in the sky 

May we bless the food for its good deed 

May we share a smile 

May we cultivate peace, 


Though times unsure, we have remained 

A place of love for all to gain 


Hello! From the Woodland Suite, 

Our rhythm has been simple and blissful. We’re meeting our needs with nourishment from the sunshine, fresh air, Miss Tammy’s cooking, and a quiet rest. Though, the minds and bodies of the children have been busy! 

It has been a real treat to be reunited and greeting the long summer days with play yard creativity and sprinkler fun. I have been so impressed with the children’s engineering and desire to construct blockades, balance beams, catapults, ramps, and bridges. There has also been some tender nurturing play where small stumps are transformed into babies, and large planks turn into resting areas or picnic plots. Their wonder never ceases to amaze me! 

Equally, it’s the season for exploring all the insects! The children have been quite enthusiastic about collecting caterpillars, creepy crawlers, and catching a glimpse of the dragonfly. It becomes a group effort to either catch or release these small visitors and brings a lot of joy (and maybe a few heebeegeebies to me.) 

I hope you all are enjoying these summer days as much as possible, and keeping the pleasures in life simple. 

Be Well, Miss Destiny
