SUMMER'S HERE!
The aim of every poet? to see beauty in the ordinary
To follow after butterflies and find a gold canary
who is singing
How will mountains draped in snowbanks know it's so
if we down on the ground, who see,
don't rejoice so they will know
that spring is just around the corner
I can feel it in the air
A robin in my neighbor's field is flitting everywhere
to say get ready!
soon the tulips will be here in wondrous bloom
and then we know that summer days will
follow very soon!

You might THINK summer is here, but this week, on June 10th, we got snow here in eastern Oregon. Several inches fell about 20 miles up the road, and we got a heavy dusting in our back yard. First time we've had snow here in June in 43 years. Weather this year is amazing. But what's a little snow compared to the awful flooding they have back in Iowa. We need to remember them in our prayers and count our blessings.
