There came a Summer from Fairy-land…

…..who carried joe-pye weed….

….in her hand.

The thistles leapt after….

….wherever she trod….

….and ironweed….

….and daisies….

….danced on the sod.

Her locks were Queen Anne’s Lace….

….with jewelweed for her nose;

Her breath was the breeze, she’d moss for her toes;

Her eyes were blue skies, her lips berry flame,

Her voice was the stream….

….and Summer was her name.

*Adapted from the children’s verse, Spring, author unknown.

P.S. Take a drive in the country this weekend to see Summer strutting her stuff….

….before she’s all gone!
"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"Lamb-y, then whammy! Get some tickets to Miami! Snow is easing, but we're still freezing. It may be spring by the astronomer, but not by the thermometer. Mighty fine, then leonine."

I love weeds….I love wildflowers……
A wildflower is a weed in its proper place and time…
A weed is a wildflower in the wrong place and time…
