Almost

The blog is mostly empty, but the nest is full...

The college students are home for the summer!

...the garden is in bloom, providing a restful haven of inspiration for students trying to finish spring studies...


...the bougainvillea is just beginning to bloom...


...as is the fragrant jasmine...


...the plums are beginning to ripen...


...and the air is full of the melodious songs of blackbirds and the longed-for music of Oldest Daughter's violin.

Sweet summer is just around the corner...

Rejoicing with you in your full nest. There's nothing like it, is there? And thank you, Melissa, for your kind words. You and Artist Son would be welcome in my home any time.
