With the exception of Friday, the weather this week is supposed to be exquisite. Nancy and I have spent the last few weeks planning and working at getting our yard under control. So many loose ends have been tied up and several projects finished. Now we get to just enjoy the weather and one another. together we make good company. If there were some way of expressing the calm that has come over our part of the world, I would tell you now. suffice it to say, if the weather was this nice all the time, Florida and Arizona would empty out and Wisconsin would be teeming with snowbirds. I had to flee the coast because of the long hot summers and today makes me very glad that I did. As Goldilocks might have said, the weather here is just right!
With the advent of Midsummer comes the blossoming of new ways of thinking, new awarenesses and new growth that the winter nearly always subdues or puts to rest completely. The trips we have taken back and forth many times vibrate with life and sounds that remind us of the fact that the whole planet is alive and that each and every organism is the beneficiary of the abundant light of the season. although powers of darkness are loathe to relinquish control over us, the deck is stacked in favor of less responsibility and less servitude as barefootin' in shorts takes a front seat and relegates dress shoes and long pants to the back of the closet. Just as the season dictates that we live a little more each day, our hearts are filled with experience and enjoyment in the out of doors.
Although I will be missing another National Rainbow Gathering, my heart is with my brothers and sisters reveling in the National Forest in Washington State this week. The lead up to the Fourth of July can frequently be too hot for me. The planting schedule of ECO-Tours of Wisconsin gets severely curtailed around this time of year because the sun is high and the rains get spotty. We begin to plant again with the fall rains, but for now, we just tend to the plantings that are in the ground already. Having such beautiful weather to enjoy is "tough work" but somebody has to do it!
