Oh my gosh! The scents of woodsmoke, bacon, and coffee are my absolute favorites. I dogs. I love the smell of dogs. Even damp ones...

Beautiful! We had buckets last night, but accompanied by all of Mother Nature’s fireworks and bomb blasts! Alarming, but refreshing 😳

So peaceful I opened this just as it started to rain here - very much needed.

The flora here is definitely smiling.

A perfect read in bed and maybe a nap day.

Good reminder that I need to be less anxious as I am leaving for Montana on holidays. I am nowhere near ready. I need to relax and just get on with things. Thanks for the reminder!

That's a perfect quote for today Clara. I have been doing that today. By the time I reach this part of summer, my system just wants a rest, even the crickets sound like they are taking it easy, singing but not so loudly.💖😌

I will take the easy resting day - woke up at 2AM and could not get back to sleep. Ugh.

Almost at a full moon(tomorrow), maybe that affected you.

And the moon was probably at its highest in sky around 2AM.

What is it about a New England rainy summer morning? It takes me back to a week at Daniel’s Pond in Vermont when I was 16 and set loose on the world, staying with a few friends at a cabin in the woods - those first idyllic days of freedom…

Looks like the perfect rainy summer mornings in Maine that reside in my memory…
