There and Back Again: So Much Life

The world seems so full of life in summer, when leaves and lawn spread into a thick, full green. This is the peak, before rain forgets to fall and grass withers to a brittle brown.For now, redbud leafs outside my office window.Ferns sway lazily in a shady corner.Hydrangea's giant snowballs bloom soft white against deep green.A rose shimmers, iridescent, in angled afternoon … [Read more...]
