I picked the last of this years lettuce right before the rain started again today...lots of spiders made homes in the flowerpots and herbs. Their webs remain undisturbed even by the storms.

I love this time in summer when farm stands and gardens are bright and bountiful; deep purple beets and emerald green chard sit along side tiny magenta radishes and midnight hued blackberries.  White peaches and raspberries blush in the markets. Lillies pose roadside, all shades of red and yellow and orange.

Seems like all of nature conspires to be abundant, inviting and fruitful right about now. 

I need to remember this when winter blows in, harsh and icy. Someone remind me mid-january.....

sending peace.
