Summer thoughts

  • Silence and conversation

. . . come in small packages like this haiku by Issa:

          To the sounds of horses

           munching grass,

           fireflies dance.  

Summer has special joys.  Pulling weeds, cooking out, watching hummingbirds, feeling sweat trickle down your face, shooing daddylonglegs, sitting under a fan – the list goes on.
