My summer this year is necessarily quiet as I wait for hip replacement surgery. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t rich.

I still look forward to sending out blog posts. (There is so much to talk about–the dailiness of country life–birds, writing, inspiring books, visits and visitors, joyful pursuits which might get neglected during the year. I’m learning to play again.) But, just for fun, for now I also want to share daily (five days a week) snapshots of these blessed days.
