"Summertime, and the livin' is easy, . . ."

Well, either nothing is going on in anyone's life. Or so much is going on that there's no time to report on it.

This photo is from June - the weekend of my mom's 90th b-day party - because I always think a post needs a photo. And believe it or not, I haven't been taking many photos lately. Of course, you might not be interested in a photo of me sleeping in, or staying in my nightgown until noon, or watering the plants outside, or reveling in the exponential growth of the Sycamore tree, or bemoaning the fate of the apricot tree that was attacked by bears and the deer!!, or photos of me addressing birthday cards or sewing aprons. Or shopping. Or talking on the phone. Or blogging. Or doing laundry.

And that's pretty much what I've been doing.

What have you been doing??

(The wildlife did not kill the apricot tree. They left it alone as soon as all the fruit was gone. It looks "pruned" shall we say. We think the strategy is to pick all fruit as soon as it appears, so the animals won't be interested in the tree. At some point, it will become sturdy enough to withstand their attack - and big enough so that there will be plenty of fruit at the top and they can eat what's on the lower branches.)
