Summer is in the air. Officially, we will welcome this season of longer days, warmer days, garden days, and cabin days on June 21.....but the lovely feelings of time slowing down and good books begun begins in my heart as I box up the school year papers and planner. I think I am craving "Garden Lazagna" again, with no memory of zucchini fatigue last August. I must find the copy of COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO....and begin. Determined to have tidier tomatoe plants this summer, I must find the green tape to begin securing the gangly branches to the cages. There are never enough white zinneas for cutting so I will plant those seeds before the week-end.
Agnes, the scott terrier, looks hot and scruffy....time for a summer cut at the groomers.
My picnic basket silverware needs a good polish....ready for the first library concert.
Good bye for now jeans, I will see you again in the early days of November.
The "cabin calendar" sits by the phone at Mom and Dad's.....let's plan some four day week-ends....today.
I found a lovely French chair at the flea market.....now is the time to chose the voile, make yards of piping, and begin the process of doing this myself.
I have been reading Psalm 90 for weeks now. I want these words IN my heart. I want "word retreival" like a young poetry student....I want words stored for storms ahead. Time to begin.
Both of my daughters are away at camp this summer.....this is the season for meaningful letters...the real ones, on paper with an address and a stamp, or better yet parchment with a wax seal.
My marriage needs "soul knitting".....I have time, and am eager to give.
These things are reasonable. Time is a gift. Summer, a delight.
Grateful to the Ancient of Days....Who numbers our days.....Dana
