Glorious July

I have always loved summer

and especially the month of July.


I know it is hot, really hot in July along the Texas Gulf Coast where I live

but

maybe that is part of the reason I love it so ......

I slowly follow the moon and its phases

and

I don't hurry the days or nights.

It is glorious July and the living is easy.......

It really is at my house!

I have a hundred and one projects

and

things to do.

If I finish  them

or

if I don't ever start them ..that's OK

because

the float in the pool keeps calling to me,

" Come out and play. The water is warm and the sky is blue today."

My kitchen is hot
so
I think it is OK to eat watermelon, mangoes and cold boiled shrimp
all day today and tomorrow too.

I have been watching the DVD, The Impressionists, at all hours of the night
and
  secretly falling in love with the young Monet over and over again!

I have listened to my favorite Eric Clapton CD, 24 Nights,
 all day every day of this month.

 In the stillness of the morning
I
sit in my garden swing, where only birdsong marks the hour
as
the sun wakes up.

Then I jump back in bed and sleep 'til noon.

Oh! Love.....

There is only one July every year
and
sometimes
"You gotta make your own kind of music"
"Mama" Cass Elliot
especially when it is so hot!
