The rhododendron are more lovely this year than I can ever remember them being. Perhaps it is because of the long, cool spring. The same is true with all growing things. The natural world is lit up and on full display. Birds wake me at 5 am with their discourse. A nest has appeared on top of the light fixture above the front door again this year. Here we go with the eggs dropping out and cracking (happened today) and the chicks falling out and gasping (last year). There is drama everywhere in spring.
Stay tuned for photos of this year's vegetable garden.
Animals, plants and humans make the most of this short growing season in New England which is bracketed by long cold winter months. We almost forget that it will ever warm up and then before we know it, we are in the throes of it, breathless trying to keep up.
Happy June everyone.
