Here in East Tennessee, the time between Memorial Day and Independence Day is traditionally spent taking a break from the usual human life routine. These days I spend more time in the shade observing birds, trees, clouds, the sun and the moon. Tomorrow a full moon will appear low on the horizon. The sun will be high on the horizon. The cicadas arrived in my neighborhood on June 15th and continue their daily loud chirping. Purple martins no longer look for new nesting locations. Mosquitoes don't seem as intent on finding blood sources. The plethora of vines are slowing down their never-ending upward movement. Greenman Garden is even showing a sign of pause. So celebrate and take a breath, for by our calendar it is officially Summertime!

Thank you for the reminder to pause and breathe - allowing some space and rest into life during this celebration of life.
