Rituals of early summer in a small suburban garden
harvesting:
-- the first raspberries of the season
-- mache for salad and borage flowers
-- lavender and sage for the altar
-- parley and chives for tabouleh
crafting: lavender sachets
waiting: apricots and kalamansi ripening, sampaguita budding
watching:
-- earthworms creating compost
-- snails mating when they're not eating strawberries
-- bluejays sunbathing
-- hummingbirds and butterflies fly-bys
listening:
-- doves cooing
-- birds rustling leaves in the underbrush
-- songbirds
