I really can't explain what is happening - why I'm not writing daily - but I promise I'll figure it out and fix it. Yesterday in my book writing I surprised myself with some thoughts on the connection between everything in the Universe. It began with noticing the humongous display of berries on the cedar tree I saw as I walked over to the labyrinth. Juniperus virginiana is not a true cedar, but that's what we call them. So, I'll share a photo with you. Birds distribute the seeds and the trees are often seen growing along fence rows where the seeds have been dropped. This is my favorite Christmas tree. I love the aroma of the cedar. One of my favorite pieces of furniture is a hand made cedar chest my parents bought for me in the mountains of North Carolina when I was a teenager. It still resides in my bedroom and has defended my wool blankets and sweaters from moths for many, many years. It does need to be sanded inside to release more of the aroma. Maybe I'll do that this summer. (I've been saying that for several years now and have yet to actually do it!) ----The Pond is still this morning. It's been in the 90s for several days now and will continue there. I hope it's not too hot for Luke and Jack to catch some fish when they come this afternoon. I do occasionally see one jumping - at least early in the morning. Time to refill my tea mug.
