Summer, Wisdom, Beauty, Love



Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.
~Sam Keen



Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
~John Lubbock



Love where you are, love who you're with and love what you do.



The world needs more warm hearts and fewer hot heads.

Great quotes and beautiful photos. I like the idea of laziness finding respectability in summer!

lazy summer days where you are free to dip into the well of peace and well-being to hoard some in your larder for the time of cold and storms...what more productive way to spend your days.

Your recipe is better than all the preserves one can make.

Love those flowers Sylvia. The one quote that says, "The world needs more warm hearts and fewer hot heads"... count me as one with a Warm Heart. :)

Cheers!

Hi ~ Beautiful photos and words which cause one to pause and think. My favorite is 'more warm hearts and less hot heads' - start spreading the news! Enjoy your day!

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
