AUGUST IN TIME
EARLY JUNE - ASTERS, CLOVER, BUTTERCUPS
The last time I wrote, it was to wish you a happy 2024. Here we are 8 months later cruising into the second half of August!
Let’s pause.
Just because. It’s always a good idea to pause, notice, collect oneself and continue on. If we don’t do that from time to time we can find that 8 months have passed and we have been too busy to notice the small shifts in our surroundings. Well, I have, anyway.
EARLY AUGUST - GOLDENROD, BLACK-EYED SUSAN, QUEEN ANNE'S LACE
It is my joy to have a place to spend time in Western Massachusetts. I savor the concerts at Tanglewood, seeing friends and being in the quiet surroundings of the woods. On my walks I pick wildflowers; just a few and never the last of a cluster! I love how, week to week, the flowers change.
I missed July which had mostly daisies. And now we are at early August. I can imagine that before there were calendars, people could gauge time by the blossoms that come up and changes from week to week throughout the season.
SQUASH, BABY
A moment to praise my daughter and husband who are the gardeners in my house. Summer harvest runs well into the early fall, so that's something to look forward to!
The summer is going to come crashing to an end as the school year gets up and running. But I hope to live in each moment between now and then and look for the slower, smaller changes of flowers, daylight, temperature and time.
THE BLUSH OF AUTUMN
Do you see that very slight blush of pinkish color on the white hydrangea? That is the clock that reminds me every year that we are back to school in a few weeks. By Labor Day it will be pink. I look forward to watch it change between now and then, day by day.
I wish you a happy "rest of summer!"
