Summer is coming!

Today has been a good day to write. While I can't usually wait for a "good day" to write, some days it's hard to put my butt in the chair and do it. Days like Sunday and Monday. Both were 70 and sunny. Today it's rainy and hard to come up with excuses to "dance around the fire" as it were.

May is an incredibly busy month. It seems like everything comes to an end. Summer is twelve weekends jam-packed with an extravaganza of fair and festival attendance, family and friend reunions, and other sundry obligations and activities that keep us running most of the months of June, July and August. We don't have to live by the mantra "weather permitting" as the sun actually packs some heat and the breezes grow soft and balmy.

This summer I have an activity that I'm cooking up with one of the city council members to combine our Best Buddy group and the Master Gardeners in an effort to grow flowers and herbs along the riverfront. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm a big believer in therapeutic horticulture so can't wait to see what kind of benefits are reaped for the kids, along with the herbs. I'm sure it'll be amazing ... with the added benefit of slowing me down in the summer months.

I'll post an invite for the ribbon cutting of the raised beds. I hope you can join us! Take care and leave a few weekends open this summer. I may need you all to water plants for me! lol.
Much love and joy,
Karen
