Perennial
Looking out over the backyard,
my eye takes in a delicious view…
the dew is gentle on the perennials —
whose guest appearance is more abundant this year with the copious amount of rainfall–
in the distance, I can see the fog lift up the grass..
the fields stretch for miles
bordered by a silhouette of forest…
the birds have already begun their morning dialogue
the birch tree is stretching to grow…
and the majestic sun-fire is entering to light our day–
Morning to you all!

Footprints of Thoughts 
How beautiful a view for morning coffee and reflection. Our day has been cool compared to our 107 degree days and I’ve taken advantage and spent most of it in the gardens. We could use rain and it is forecast but I went ahead and watered the roses anyway. I love the roses but the wildflowers are my true love. I think you are correct about all the rain. This is the 2nd time this year I’ve deadheaded the wildflowers and they didn’t start blooming until the end of June (which is very late). Friends laugh that I deadhead my wildflowers but that’s how I gather seeds plus I always get more blooms and extended growing season. It’s wonderful to see you here, Jane.

I KNEW when there was an indication of a comment that it would be from YOU! (smile)…Yes, I have decided to rejoin the living…and shake the dust…and go forward…a little sad at times…but a bit wiser ( I do hope!)…I think it is WONDERFUL that you deadhead the wildflowers! I have one garden at the base of my lot that is dedicated to the wildflowers! Thank YOU, Sheri, for stopping by and leaving a note of encouragement…it means much! Hoping all is well with you and your husband’s health is improving and may the wildflowers bloom well into the Fall!

祝福していただきありがとうございます！あなたは私に何を期待していなかった？私はそれがうまくいった…と私は私が言ってはいけない何も言わなかったことを願っています— Googleの翻訳に使用。私はイエス·キリストのメッセージを信じない – 私は彼が勇気を大量に持っていたし、平和について話したと思います。私は、マシューとルークの福音書で山上の垂訓が大好き！私が思うに、私たちが良い一日生きる時、私たちの夜は平和になることを願っています！そこに私たちを取り巻くそんなに悪があるときにそれは難しいです – 、私の環境の中で怒りがあった場合—それはそれはとてもはるかに難しい私は平和的であるためには…、私は停止し、呼吸を持っていることができます…とイエスを覚えている。あなたがこれを読んだときに応じて、おやすみやおはよう！

Thank you for the blessings! What didn’t you expect from me? I used Google Translate—I hope it worked well…and that I did not say anything I should not have said. I do believe in the message of Jesus–I think HE had a great deal of courage and spoke of peace. I love the Beatitudes in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke! I do think and HOPE that when we live a good day, our evening will be peaceful! It is hard when there is so much evil surrounding us–and when there is anger in my surroundings—it makes it so much more difficult for me to be peaceful…then I have to stop and breathe…and remember Jesus. Good night or good morning, depending upon when you read this!

Good Morning, Yoshiko! Yes, you have a very good understanding of English–I wish that I was as knowledgeable about another language! I just thought you might appreciate someone writing to you in your own language.
