“June is the time for being in the world in new ways, for throwing off the cold and dark spots of life.” 

— Joan D. Chittister

We quietly celebrate 48 years of marriage. He starts refinishing the dining room table while I harvest the first lettuce from the garden. I practice saying no, and spend time looking for trolls with Percy. We all sign up for the summer reading program and hug a tree. The weather plays havoc with my mood, and some miner heath issues pop up. I miss old friends. The flowers in the garden, and cuddles with the dog, save me more than once.
