The stifling heat is keeping me inside.
I’ve only ventured out to feed the fish.
The other day I started to cut the old lilac down.
My husband helped.
The process is ongoing. I’ll finish when the weather turns.
I haven’t decided what all will fill the space.
My hairdresser Azy showed me pictures of peaches on her peach tree.
I now have peach envy.
I still have thoughts of the red witch hazel, Diane.
I don’t plan to plant till fall, and possibly next early spring.
So, I have time on my side to think.
Early evening I’ll venture out again to do a little watering.
Even the pond fountain looks a little defeated.
Images of the slow motion capture of water drops comes into my mind.
This too will pass.
