Happy 80th Birthday to Wendell Berry!
Many thanks for the many years of inspiration.
“And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet,
and learn to be at home.”
~ from The Unforeseen Wilderness: Kentucky’s Red River Gorge by Wendell Berry
Soggy but pretty morning. .. weaning day… here we go…
A Friday ritual.
A single photo – no words – capturing a single moment from the week
A simple, special extraordinary moment.
A moment to pause, savor and remember.

“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.”
~ Rumi
Happy the man, whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,
Whose flocks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter, fire.
Blest, who can unconcernedly find
Hours, days, and years slide soft away
In health of body, peace of mind;
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mixed, sweet recreation,
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die,
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.
~ Solitude by Alexander Pope

Not sure if it was the little ones or mama that had the idea that Saturday was a good day to fledge. It rained, it poured and the little ones kept mama very busy… the first barn swallow fledglings on the first day of summer.
