Syrupy Summer Light

Shrouded in smoke from the forest fires the garden was still calm without a breeze. Sitting so quietly and waiting like the rest of us for the hope of a cooler summer day. It was one of those remarkable temperate days that stuck in your summer memory, brought out during winters chill when you could no longer feel your fingertips...full of lush green growth, and generously spreading warmth....the rare one that seem to come only as the bookends of summer.

If A Tree Falls

Does anyone read it? Should I bother, is it even worth it? Then I realized....a blog post is like a tree in the forest. If it's been written, someone will read it and even if they don't leave a comment it's still be...
