" If spring is all about looking forward, and autumn about dying back,
summer surely is the present moment:
a long, hot now that marks the sultry climax of the year.
Roughly bookended by haymaking and the grain harvest,
it is a time of fruition and plenty,
of promises fulfilled.
Spring's generative riotousness slows and ceases,
and a stillness settles over the land."
{Melissa Harrison}
Summer days...
greeting the day with our walk...
up and out the door
before the heat settles in.
cherishing the still-cool morning air
as we walk among the dappled light
of dawn.
arriving home to sip my coffee
on the patio,
reading a few chapters
while listening to the happy chatter
of the outside world.
then off to tend to the garden
which is happily flourishing.
many lessons learned already
in this little garden of mine.
oh, how I love summer mornings...
most days, paying little heed to the clock
or calendar...
this free flowing abundance
of time.
