Summer's edge

Columbine 2011

Within a week summer will be here. At least the calendar will state that fact, if not the actual weather.  The past several months much of life has been so uncertain; the very cool, wet days that have alternated helter-skelter with scorching blasts of heat, during what was to have been spring, seemed to go with the rest of the skewed picture.  For now, I find comfort in the garden and the evolving cycles of nature.
