Summer Fruits

summer, her favored season 

she loves gathering flowers to cheer her home

and 

fruit for meals, holy cuisine

earth is green, mountains stand strong

listening to the heat of summer 

inspiring growth in all life

Colors, Summer is so much about Colors

i love working with color

for over a quarter of a century my business was making beaded jewelry

with tiny little seed beads

it allowed me the gift of being a stay at home mom

that was so much about playing with colors

shopping for the beads was so much fun

Maple trees have their winged seeds on now:

such beautiful colors as they dance in the breeze

drenched in sunlight

Summer can be full to overflowing in the NW of Montana,

a time to do outdoor things that our long winters do not support.

One thing I have done is help Larry work on his tiny log cabin. 

 

Staining windows:

 

 pre-chinking logs:

  

while he chalked around the corners of logs

so fun to see his cabin come to life!
