summer evening
quiet music and
a few Psalms
new evergreen growth
still in the sun
The day is thine, the night also is thine:
thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:
thou hast made summer and winter.
Psalm 74: 16-17 (KJV)
early morning
when I wrote a post
and late afternoon
when I read poetry
and listened to music
robin on the branch
by the same window
I look for the small gifts every day. This morning, I thought an idea for a summer 2022 series might be to simply note a few of these blessings.
their own beauty
birch trees and
blue sky
new leaves
on the birch tree
May study window
snow on the branch
where birds visit
in Spring
As you can see, the basket Karl created with spruce tree branches that were pruned, and decorations from past years, is now outside. The snow today gives the arrangement new life. You can see snow on the wood path Karl built years ago, and gardens where lilies and other plants grow. Our red poinsettia in the house, from Mentink’s Piggly Wiggly in town, is still beautiful. Our Christmas cactus has many buds and is on the table with the poinsettia. I think we will rename the cactus – February cactus? Karl took the photo this afternoon.
A quiet Saturday. Karl is an engineer and is working on a project. I have been reading for hours today in my study.

snowflakes fall all day
on the gardens

birch trees and
evergreens
