trembling pink stars
cause me to pause,
thankful

Notes: I’m grateful for my garden. For warm days, bitter tomato scent, promising green fruit, rain, flowers, and dawdling aimless moments. May the magic of summer, a moment of silence, and gratitude lighten your day.

And you look gorgeous with that pink flower you hold to your hair. It’s always reminded me of Janis Joplin!

I was just out in mine this morning — it’s really a patch of giant sunflowers hiding some tomatoes and peppers, and a few colored geraniums in pots on my deck. And I paused — and was thankful.

Is this a picture from your garden!? A lot of work I imagine, but so, so beautiful. And it seems your garden inspires you as well. 🙂

Me, too. We’ve had so much rain, they are starting to suffer. But they still smell like summer to me.
