Welcome to summertime in Seattle. The lavender is blooming to beat the band. I had Gerbera daisies bloom in my garden! A rare occurrence in the normally gloomy Northwest.
It’s about time to celebrate my 21-year wedding anniversary tomorrow. We are sneaking away for a single night (because the hotel rooms all around Seattle are booked and/or crazy expensive summer weekends) but we hope to make a duck-in-fresh-cherry sauce dinner and maybe some home-made blueberry-cherry ice cream to go with it. (We are inundated with blueberries and cherries right now!) It’s also about to be my husband’s birthday, and we will have to figure out some way to celebrate that too! We usually try to go downtown, but the heat has been making us less outdoor-adventurous than usual, I fear. I’m hoping we get some rain and a break in the heat soon.
I also wanted to bring some attention to a couple of poem publications, in the new issues of Redactions (“Introduction to Dream Interpretation”,) The Clementine Poetry Journal(“Introduction to Husbandry,”) and the Great Gatsby Anthology (“Daisy, at 40.”) I recommend going out and reading them all, of course!
