Summertime is here

Our emotional recollection of summer can come rushing back years later - like today, I will hold the memory of our sweet perfumed yard with a 100 year old Linden tree buzzing a thousand bees. The sweet intoxicating smell takes me away from it all for moments and brings this day back in focus. Photographs can remind us too. I am a big fan of picture albums and prints - I like to hold them in my hand and have them around me ready for a glance, a remembrance.
