Summertime

Although it’s been sunny, hot and humid all month, at 11:28 this morning it was official: this year’s beautiful, abundant spring passed the torch to summer! It’s no surprise that the daylilies, which have been blooming for weeks, are ahead of schedule - the perennial garden seems to be on fast forward this year. Can vegetables be far behind? The stalks of corn in local farmers’ fields are sporting tassels. City Fresh started last week with shares that included a bounty of herbs, greens, squash and strawberries. It’s time to celebrate the solstice and the season of the sun and the strong sun moon!

This is beautiful Joan! I see it is already in a private collection, how sad for me and all the others that will love it when they see it.
