The Silences of Summer

 

Summer is a time of slow mornings and restful afternoons.

No, it isn't. At least not this year. I have busy-beavered my way through my scholarly work-list, and passionately thrown myself into reclaiming the garden. I have supported the scouts, and taught my community about the kazoo, and made some absolutely fabulous meals.

So, until mid-August, may your summer be restful, the stillness come upon you as needed, and the silences and sounds of the world bring you much contentment.

Happy summer, all!
