I've reached a new phase in my life--yet again! I began this blog seeking solace from a busy and ever-changing world. I got a divorce, a new job, and yearned for my former life of raising children and using my creativity. I started a new life in 2010--in a new state, with a new identity--and opened up to the possibilities and adventures that lay ahead for me. Now, another new adventure in retirement is unfolding. This blogging thing sure does help . . .

The Summer Solstice Makes Me Happy
Today is the longest day of the year. I love it when it's light out for so long. The sun didn't say good night until about 9:35 p.m. It's a perk of being on the western edge of the time zone.
I was outside cutting flowers at 9:15 p.m., then thought I'd better get inside. Picked a lot of flower arrangements. Roses, honeysuckle, daisies, lavender, petunias, and my lemon thyme is blooming little purple flowers, too.
My house smells delicious!
The scene above looks north and west along the Tyrrhenian Sea coast from Santa Severa, Italy. Appearing in the well-timed sequence, the small figure of the photographer himself is illuminated against the wall of the town's medieval castle. It's the picture on my blog at the very bottom today.
Happy Summer Solstice!
