the glow of summer

When summer comes, I love having guests in my garden. These flavors, smells, light - I've been waiting for this all year. The blue of the sky at this time is amazing. I'm planning more treats on my calendar. We eat at the table or on the grass. I choose tablecloths, cutlery, glassware and crockery. I rearrange and change - I can never quite decide. Sometimes fresh herbs in a vase, sometimes wildflowers picked on the riverbank. Fruit on the table - the shape and form of a peach is beautiful. Juicy cherries, sweet apricots - the season decides, I just put it on the table. But breakfast only on the grass. The rays of the sun break through the leaves of the apple trees. You can think for a moment, squint your eyes, forget about the world. But I have to finish - I can already see familiar smiles and cocktail dresses in the distance.
