The Great Wheel Turns and It's Summer Sosltice

The Great Wheel Turns and It's Summer Sosltice
 Summer--when I was young it meant long, lazy days in my outdoor hideout, reading books from the end- of-school book fair. Later it was trips to the swimming pool and the smell of suntan lotion and chlorine, the jangle of my friend's transistor radio.  A cherished week or sometimes two at the beach was always the highlight of summer days, when we could fall asleep to the lullaby of the waves.

Summer on the farm was always a sweaty labor of love--keeping up with the garden and dealing with its produce--canning, blanching, freezing.

Nowadays my summer is more leisurely--some Josie duty, to be sure, but chiefly I'm focused on the Zen rules for a happy life.

Brew the tea correctly.

See that the house is warm in winter and cool in summer.

And really, it's enough.
