Summer Is Here!

S U M M E R

There is burgeoning growth all around.

Joy fills the air as all thngs celebrate life.

Sap has well and truly risen, and the garden appears

to be bursting with a kaleidoscopic of color. Solstice marks 

the high point of the year when all around seems full 

of exuberance and gratitude. The warming rays of the 

sun on our backsfill us with blissful contentment.

Amid all the frantic activity, we find time to pause, 

and give thanks. Abundance beckons.

Today is the summer solstice, though it does not officially arrive until 10:42 p.m, which I think means that Saturday will be the longest day of the year, but to be honest I'm not really sure how all of that works.  All I do know is . . . summer is here! 

I'll be back soon, with ideas and inspiration to savor every moment of this beautiful season! But for now, here's a lovely recipe for . . .
