It's been beautiful here today. These last several weeks, it has been remarkable. By mid-afternoon, the temperature was in the low 80s.
The back deck is our starter garden. We have tomatoes, zucchini, basil, lettuce, and sweet potatoes in small pots awaiting the big day when we commit them to the earth.
We sat out on the back deck and drank ice tea for a long while. Neither Jilda nor I talked much. A wooden down on the hollow sounded like a jackhammer. An owl whoo whoo whoo'd for its mate down behind the barn. A gentle wind out of the southwest had its way with the windchimes.
It felt good to be alive.
Below is a picture I shot this morning as we walked. Tiny yellow flowers growing up in a bed of poison ivy. I keep the walking path mowed, but I shot this picture near the edge. The contrast was striking.
