Summer is here and the garden is growing like gangbusters which is so welcome after that slow start to Spring. 🌷 Despite the long, sun-drenched days I have felt myself pulled inward. My mind, body, and spirit has been craving quiet amidst the songs of birds 🎶 and the ebullience of children freed from the confines of the school day.

In my house, tomatoes and peppers are awaiting the long days of late May and I...
