Friday was an exceptionally beautiful
first day of summer.
It was sunny
but not hot and
breezes, while light,
set the wind chimes
to moving just enough,
leaving a hint of what
we would like
summer to be.

Nature is
coming over to
the bright side...
coming over to
the bright side...
...the lavender
is ready to be
what it is the very best at..
being lavender and feeding the bees...
...and we have
a small crop of morning glories
already reaching
for the top of the arbor.
As I showed you last summer,
the Captain likes to plant a morning glory
next to the gate arbor,
but sometimes the nurseries
don't have them
or by the time we find one,
it doesn't have too long left
of its growth period.
I decided to plant
my own seeds this time and
am anxious to see them thrive.
Meanwhile,
the Cottage stew is simmering
on the back burner.
In the dining room
I have set a tea table for two,
using bits and pieces of china
that have been handed down
from my mother over past years.
It looks bright and simple
along with some
cuttings from the garden.
"A vase can be a little garden, its contents gathered
to please the eye."

As a new summer begins,
and when some things don't work
the way they
were intended...
...transform them
into something else and
they will shine
once again.
A shining bit of summer to me
is when I see the first dragon fly.
This pretty creature
was hanging around the garden
on the first day of summer and
gladly posed for me.
His wings are
really a work of art.
On behalf of
this fancy fella,
I want to wish you all
Happy Summer Days.
