I had a lovely morning outdoors yesterday, Saturday! The weather was just perfect, the crisp air and the sunshine. This beautiful painted rock was on my way, I believe this message found me.
The flowers are blooming, it’s like they know that they should show our their beauty now, there isn’t time for later, the temperature is dropping faster.
Wishing a lovely week to your, enjoy the rest of this season.
June bugs are still hanging around here, so many of them! They come from the Tomato farms surrounding the city. They land on our clothes when we go out in the evening, before coming back in we need to removed them to be sure none come inside home. I missed one few days ago and it started to fly in the middle of the night in our bedroom, I had to wake up hubby to take it outside.
farewell to the summer
yes, you were a hot and humid one
somedays i got upset with you
but others i just loved that you were here
i’ll remember you as mornings and evenings
in my garden
vegetables and flowers
smiling at me
and the sun bathing my golden skin
“Freshness is essential. That makes all the difference.”
Julia Child
We have lots of fresh produce here in Ontario right now. Farmers are everywhere selling their harvest: Blueberries, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, cherries, rhubarb …
Hubby got strawberries and blueberries yesterday. The kitchen smelled freshness as soon as he opened the shopping bag.
Sadly this freshness doesn’t last long. By the end of August, we have to go back to the supermarket and buy fruits and vegetables imported from other countries. These fruits come by ship, so weeks traveling before reaching here. They have almost no taste and zero smell.
Each season has its own offers, so I’m enjoying the freshness of summer!
Hugs,
E.
