Summertime

- Summer has arrived with our longest day or summer solstice.
As I walk the evening the sounds I hear are these cicadas. It is their 17 year breeding time and come with calls whistling through the trees.
I am searching for the 7 different wild flowers to lay on my pillow for all the spirit of summer and health. On my walk, I also came upon some wild Yarrow. This is believed to bring good health when placed with my flowers this night.
It has been a very warm humid day... So no bonfire for us tonight! Another tradition practiced in many places around the world. Maybe even one around Stonehenge.

Blessings are always abound when experiencing the joys of summer and health.


As the sun sets and the sounds of the cicadas grow silent ...
I tuck my flowers on my pillow.


And fall asleep with all the gratitude of enjoying this beautiful day!

Summery Days give way to gardening.

I'm finding joy in planting the miniature gardens and...


- My antique birdcage...
Sunday the cicadas arrived here. Which only happens every 17 years! They live to mate then die once again after 6 weeks. The amazing nature around me.






This is one that landed by me. The coloring of it are magnificent!
Much gratitude I have in sharing these wonders.
What have you witnessed?
