| My Patio |
There are
so many splendid things about the month of July. It heralds mid-summer in
Central Pennsylvania. The song of the birds in the bushes and trees are an old welcome
melody and many times a morning alarm clock as they scurry to establish their
second brood.
Even the
drone of the bees grows louder and more pronounced as multitudes of blossoms
appear and clover blooms in the fields, luring them in.
The
weather has turned warm and balmy, and this year—rainy. Vegetation sprouts
greener, lusher, and higher than ever before. The fresh smell of newly mowed grass
and summer phlox waft through our open windows and doors and forces me to pause
for a second and just enjoy the sweet fragrances.

July is a
reminder that we can slow down a bit. We can take a leisurely stroll or sit by
an open camp fire. We can take a break in the sunshine—or in the shade—and
read, watch wildlife, or just mediate.

As night
creep up over the hill and day creatures rest, the pines and bushes are
bombarded with a volley of fire flies this year. They twinkle like little white
Christmas lights.
For me, this
is a month that allows for peace of mind. My favorite spot is a swing on our
covered patio where I can sit, close my eyes, and listen to the sounds of
nature around me.
Where is
your favorite spot on a pleasant summer day?
