“Summertime,and the livin’ is easy…Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high.”
~ George Gershwin
Here’s to hoping your living is easy this summer. When you walk outside and the air feels like a flannel shirt turned inside out and the light has a glint to it like water on a frogs back, you know it has arrived.
Flowers are coming and going at a rapid pace, some linger for weeks while others make a huge splash for just a day or so. (like my San Pedro’s above, 48 hours and it’s over. However, they usually make one or two repeat performances before the summer is over.)
At the top of the hill on our pre-breakfast morning walk we witnessed a pair of Tiger Swallowtail butterflies doing an impressive duet. Chasing each other around the bushes near the one spot where the wind stops these two would suddenly whirl around each other in a frenzy going straight up in the air at least fifty feet before diving off in separate directions, only to regroup a few moments later and do it again.
