Summer
Hot days, cool, lovely evenings; Wednesday we celebrate Independence Day, summer is in full swing.
“There is nothing I like better at the end of a hot summer’s day than taking a short walk around the garden. You can smell the heat coming up from the earth to meet the cooler night air.” ~Peter Mayle
The smell of crisp mornings and warm evenings, active bird life and buzzing bees, seasonal fruit, corn on the cob, BBQ’s are among the many pleasures that summer brings. I love the warmth, although as I have aged, the heat is more challenging.
“Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.” ~Russell Baker
Each season is unique. Gardens are rich and vibrant as Spring matures into Summer and the cadence is slower.
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” ~John Lubbock
Enjoy your summer!!
