The Bounty of Summer
I am going to miss our stone fruit trees when I move: the peaches, the apricots, the plums, nectarines ………!
We have several trees, and all of them have been loaded to the breaking point this summer. In fact, most summers are like this. It is hard for me to remember a summer when it wasn’t this way. First the apricots ripen, which we can. Then the plums, which are made into jam (one of Dad’s favorite kinds). The nectarines and peaches ripen almost simultaneously, which leads to a hectic week or two when we try to take advantage of as much as we can!
Now we have buckets and buckets of fruit in the kitchen, all waiting to be processed. Yummy!

Happy Together
…
I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my life
…
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
…
– the turtles
So very, very happy together. Why? Because our God is good, gracious, and great. I have no other reason to explain it.
I am grateful though!

My Mother
Mother & Daughter – June 16, 1986
I love you Mother for your quiet grace,
For that dear smile upon your kindly face,
For marks of toil upon each loving hand,
That worked for me ere I could understand;
For all time’s touches on your hair and brow,
For never were you quite so dear as now;
…
-Clara Simpson, “My Mother”

What A Wonderful World
I see trees of green…….. red roses too
I see ’em bloom….. for me and for you
And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue ….. clouds of white
Bright blessed days …. dark sacred nights
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow….. so pretty .. in the sky
Are also on the faces ….. of people .. going by
I see friends shaking hands ….. sayin’ .. how do you do
They’re really sayin’ …… I love you.
I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more ….. than I’ll never know
And I think to myself ….. what a wonderful world
The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces…..of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands ….. sayin’ .. how do you do
They’re really sayin’ … I ….love….you.
I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow
You know they’re gonna learn
A whole lot more than I’ll never know
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself ……. what a wonderful world.
