“There will never be any more perfection than there is now.”
- Walt Whitman
Beautiful summer, long days and sunshine.
Hydrangeas in bloom providing cuttings for every room.
Golden day lilies.
Cheeriness of red geraniums beside the front door.
People on bicycles.
Fewer cars on the streets and a slower pace.
Bees and butterflies buzzing the flowers.
Tomatoes ripening on the vine, with basil, cilantro, and thyme growing in a pot nearby.
Time to read and escape vicariously to places I dream of visiting.
People don’t seem to be rushing to get places (except across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on Friday afternoons).
Wearing sandals every day.
And I love the thought of pagan rituals to celebrate the summer solstice, from the Druids and the ancient Celts, to the festive Midsummer celebrations throughout Scandinavia. We all celebrate the sun in our own way.
Happy summer.
