A Perfect Summer day




summer- senyru

meadow sage spires drink from azure sky
a stella d'oro lily from sun
cat and I together

Yesterday was one of those perfect summer days that you just want to drink in with every breath and every pore of your skin.

The night before a front came through with no storm, just wind that blew hot air out and brought cool air in. The morning temperature at 51' was enervating and helped dissipate the latent heat in the walls and roof of the house after several days close to 100°.

The mosquitoes may be dying out and I was able to sit oudoors and read at last. Surrounded by peace, wren song and blooming flowers, I realized I am now on a similar path to last year's blogs so I must be careful not to repeat myself. The lollipop lilies are in bloom (July 4th 2010) and the yarrows just starting (July 6th 2010) and it would be so easy to sing their praises all over again. I treasure anything that grows in my garden in such an hot arid clime.

The only thing that changes is me. I am glad for it but at the same time yearn to turn the clock back to other summers when I was able to share all of this with Peter. But as they say in England, "No-go mate". At least I can share it with friends in my blog - thank you to all those who read it. May this lovely summer peace be yours also.
