Beautiful…
Happy Solstice to you, too.

Thanks Hannah—
It’s so easy for me to get so caught up in all the stressful stuff, that I forget the beauty all around me. Literally just outside my front door.
Yesterday I went out into the back yard and found a teeny patch of volunteer chamomile. How did the chamomile know to appear? I needed its presence and it showed up. Plants are so cool like that.

That sounds lovely.
I used some of the chamomile you gave me when I was out there not too long ago. I should probably use it again—I’ve been embracing stress too much, too.
I want to do more with the garden this year—I want to can some things (we have fruit trees) and bake and such. Yesterday I made mint sauce (for meat/lamb or whatever) out of some of our mint.
Passionflowers are so interesting looking. I painted one for my sister Eve (a necklace). I thought it fit her—she’s a double Leo. It’s neat that you have some.
Hugs and Happy Day,
Uncle H
