Happy solstice– and the summer officially begins! My son arrives in the US, but he’s going to his dad’s first so, except for his travel texts, I wait. These pots of herbs are the bright spot in my garden– the rest largely chewed down by the neighborhood fauna. Soon my house and my life will expand to include my children and grandboys, so I rearrange, tie up loose ends, and stock up on foods not usually found in my larder. It’s been so long since we have all been together! So I try to set things up so the time will unfold easily and happily, whatever the weather. And now you know why I am so late in posting the end of June and start of July here on my blog.
