The Promise of Summer
With the solstice officially marking summer this week, the season of plenty is here to celebrate. Many birds have already fledged one brood and are now sitting on a second clutch. Depending on where you live, songbirds may even have a chance to raise three broods. I say, thank goodness for second chances. Let the wrens try again after their first nest was disturbed by a bear. Let the robins lay perfect blue eggs and hope the jays leave them alone. Let all this new life surround and fill us during the brightest and darkest of days.

This is a real beauty Jean!
Thanks Michele!
Second chances are always good. Both in creatures and people. May we all enjoy them frequently.
Yes, indeed.
Beautiful drawing and beautiful, hopeful message!
