June 15th

Another month is half over-sheesh. The sun has finally come out popping through hazy clouds. Everything is green even the houses and fences where the mold has flourished in our recent rain forest-like weather. The lake is riding high on it's banks, dark and murky from run-off. The birds call, robin, dove, cardinal and sparrow. They alight on the leaves and shower the ground and branches with water droplets from their movements. The sky is still hazy and barely shows the watered sunlight. The constant hum of lawnmowers and trimmers is stopped for a moment by the wet grass. A light brown deer with big eyes and big ears pops it's head out of the deep shadow of the woods to nibble at the neighbors day lilies. Everything smells of dampness and dark musty odors of mud and mold.The view from my window is its own kind of quiet, sparkling and at once attractive and repulsive. cheers~
