I am just now getting into putting feeders up and enjoying the company. The Hummingbirds are so amazing, sipping the nectar. When I was walking the dogs, I looked up and saw two eagles flying above, with the blue sky as a back drop. It left me in awe and unable to move. Nature has a way, as you so beautifully write, of soothing every inch of my being.<BR/><BR/>I wrote about strawberries today too. Big, red, juicy ones that were close to perfection. I understand the happiness they bring.<BR/><BR/>Your summer is starting out so wonderful. Makes me appreciate more, just being present.<BR/><BR/><BR/>XOXOXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-12754629188237895692008-06-18T14:28:00.000-07:002008-06-18T14:28:00.000-07:00Beautiful...I could almost taste the sweet explosi...Beautiful...I could almost taste the sweet explosion of strawberries in my own mouth. Your gift of words is so amazing, and I'm so glad I've had a chance to join you on this trip into both your past and your present.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Enjoy these days and these moments. All too soon, they pass us by.

I got home from the 2 hour talent show (which I was in), and thought, now what do I do. How do I want to spend the summer? Right now the day doesn't feel like summer, just another friday. Except this time, friends are moving away, going off in their own separate ways to different high schools. <BR/><BR/>I love how you stated the freedom of summer. I look forward to reading more from you!<BR/><BR/>KaitlynAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04712496435364982185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-21657366005639626622008-06-17T22:04:00.000-07:002008-06-17T22:04:00.000-07:00Gorgeous writing.

This excursion is quietly tense with too much time together after so long of not enough time together. The vibrancy and variety of flowers, the task of choosing from the wealth, the easy familiarity of this yearly ritual work together to spin strings of silk connection across the divide of our tired marriage.'<BR/><BR/>The more personal, the more universal.Carrie Wilson Linkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586157395539583862noreply@blogger.com
