An August Garden
For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd . . .
. . . feel the sun and go in royal array . . .
Be warm, enjoy the season, lift your head . . .
Take your delight in momentariness . . .

Ya Never Know
When we arrived home from our Main Street dog walk
D decided to bake (!?)
Before I knew it the dough was made.
Great opportunity to try this.
Boom! Scones are cut and stamped!
D is a man of action.
Such a cute touch.
So, three for me . . .
Is that the smoke alarm I hear?
Ready . . .
set . . .
go!
These were D's words.
Bun doesn't care if the scones are a bit solid.
Apparently, I didn't either.
Thanks, honey. A nice treat . . .
and isn't my new Skitch app neat?

If . . .
If you can dream -
and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -
and not make thoughts your aim:
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
and treat those two impostors just the same;
This gym's for you.
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them;
"Hold on!"
This gym's for you.

For Shevaun @ Botanical Sketches and Other Stories
Why is it always the favourite . . .
that suffers the most?
However, never let it be said
that the Japanese beetle plays favourites!
Oh, no. He likes almost anything.
Thank goodness for the honey bees
and the bumble bees because
killing insects is not what a garden is about.
(this is a morning's haul)
