Juicy Summer


Sweet juice of summer
drip, drip, drip, quenches my life
lifting high my heart

This is one of those years to remember we are actually having a summer,
we have had more than two consecutive weeks of sunshine!
Today begins the folk festival next to our cottage,
we usually go in wellington boots but this year I think it is safe to wear sandals!

Joining in with
Haiku my Heart
Recuerda mi Corazon

BTW
Cupcake baking in progress,
bouncy castle to arrive soon
along with party animals ~
we have a 'jungle' theme going on!

My buzz word for today is b-r-e-e-z-y
I need it first for the heat
secondly for calm ;~)

I remember last year at this time as well. Not summery at all. When I think about how hot and humid it is right now in Wisconsin, I imagine that drip, drip drip of some kind of juice cooling my body to be waves of cool water.
Very glad you are upbeat and enjoying life. Have fun at the festival and eat a cupcake, or two, for me.

Much Peace sent your way Ms. Foxy

You are having a fun time with a lot of breeze sun and light!! Can sense your buoyant mood!! We on the other side of the globe are done with the scorching summer heat and sweating and enjoying the welcome rains!! Funnily we here don't walk in wellies, they even stopped selling them, instead we all wear sandals and bellies specially made for the monsoons!! :) How things vary in different regions!!

Love that opening line: "Sweet juice of summer"!

It almost makes me appreciate this torrid time of year.

Almost.

Morning has Broken

Yesterday the black dog came to visit me, the same black dog who  used to visit Winston Churchill. When my daughter came around, she could  see the black dog had turned up too and  that I was completely at his mercy. She made her leave with a simple kiss and goodbye,  "hope he goes soon", I nodded in agreement. For when he's around he completely  demands my attention and there's no shaking him loose! On retiring I sternly told the black dog I didn't understand the reason for his visit and that I thought I had sat with him for long enough  and to be gone in the morning! *** I've not seen him so far, this morning thank goodness !!! It is the beginning of a brand new day,  I am grateful for each day of my life...   I was at a funeral on Friday,  to say we'd anticipated a sad day all turned out most beautifully.... my favourite hymn was sung 'Morning has Broken' On this brand new day I'm sitting here tapping the k...

My Silken Altar

The reflective image below is one taken of my south facing window,  which is more like an altar to me because of the ever changing light that allows for embracing the moments of silent connection and praise. I take many photographs from this window as I marvel at the sun's energy  to illuminate or in this case reveal through shadows and reflections. This image has been sitting in my file for sometime, it has a hidden message for me that  I knew would one day surface...    Heart broken open by the mystery of you... love stitches together.  Gentle love rides pain like silken thread slips through jute spring balm for raw edge. Stitch with silken love the polarities of life  embrace the mystery... Sending to Rebecca for healing... Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
