Summer’s Unfolding

The cherries are ripe and ready for picking in the food forest, each one a small burst of sweetness and color. The mulberries are not far behind, still blushing their way toward deep purple perfection. Overhead, sunlight streams through slow-moving clouds.

This is the gentle unfolding of summer. Not a sudden arrival, but a gradual opening. A quiet reminder to savor what ripens in its own time.

Ripe—Cherries

Almost Ripe—Mulberries (with raspberries not far behind)

Magical—Summer Light

Wishing you a peaceful and happy 4th of July.
