Peas are on, red currants are nearly there, we tasted the first ripe raspberries today, and the blueberries will be awesome, barring a bird invasion. Roses are in full glory, too. I have a bouquet on my kitchen island made up of Sweet William, maroon Scabiosa, pink Astilbe, and little Coral Bells. The fruits and flowers of summer are what make this season worth it to me. Otherwise, I think I would wallow in misery, complaining of the heat, humidity, mosquitoes, and rain storm after rain storm. I wasn't made for summer weather. But I do enjoy the good things it brings.

We went blueberry-picking yesterday in a nearby farmer's field yesterday, and I found myself very envious of all the delicious homegrown goodies you have cultivated. There is something so fulfilling in eating off the land - even if it is, as it was in our case, someone else's land.
Sorry for the repetition of the word "yesterday" in my first sentence. I have no idea why I was so anxious to give an accurate timeline. :0) I really should edit before pressing "enter."
Being able to plant fun and edible thing is definitely one of my favorite parts of home ownership. Yesterday we, too, picked a few blueberries. I love seeing my kids run through the backyard, eating things like berries as they go.
