Welcome Summer!

the picnic table beckons

the evening light

softening memories

of loved ones

who will be missed

as we gather

for another summer

around her... worn and warped

but filled with

the light and love

of family

wishing you a simply wonderful summer

Happy Winter Solstice!

Summer Solstice

"Then followed that beautiful season... Summer...

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape

Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Winter in Aurora

Summer Solstice

"Now summer is in flower and natures hum
Is never silent round her sultry bloom
Insects as small as dust are never done
Wi' glittering dance and reeling in the sun
And green wood fly and blossom haunting bee
Are never weary of their melody
Round field hedge now flowers in full glory twine
Large bindweed bells wild hop and streakd woodbine
That lift athirst their slender throated flowers
Agape for dew falls and for honey showers
These round each bush in sweet disorder run
And spread their wild hues to the sultry sun."

- "June" by John Clare
