“Are cats lazy? Well, more power to them if they are. Which one of us has not entertained the dream of doing just as he likes, when and how he likes, and as much as he likes?” ~Fernand Mery
response to week three of the thirteen weeks of summer
the solstice to solstice project at urban.prairie.forest.
Like most of the rest of the country, we are experiencing extremely high temperatures for this time of year. We are all seeking shade… wherever we can find it… a little patch here… a bigger patch there. Every patch of shade has been filled with a resting animal, waiting for the sun to set for a little bit of relief. We put a hook and eye on the big door of the small chicken coop so that it can be kept open for a little more air circulation. This, of course, has been a great source of amusement for the chickens, at least those who are not hunkered down in the shade under the coop.
Appropriately enough, urban.prairie.forest chose HOT as the word for week one of the thirteen weeks of summer. We’re joining in today, and when you get a chance check out all the wonderful contributions in The Solstice to Solstice Flickr pool.

From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.

Earth is dry to the center,
But spring, a new comer,
A spring rich and strange,
Shall make the winds blow
Round and round,
Through and through,
Here and here,
Till the air
And the ground
Shall be filled with life anew.
