Savour the sunshine,

feast on the breeze,

distil its essence and

learn how to squeeze

gallons of flavour

where ounces occur;

sprinkle this hour

with seasoning – and stir.

I love herbs. My dill patch is a good place to feast on the breeze as it releases its lovely summer scent…

    Good thought — something we all need to do. I’m starting to notice the days getting shorter.

      ME, too! The countdown is on – all the more necessary for us to enjoy the rest of the summer, one moment at a time.

    You must be good, Mel–I was truly smelling the dill!

    Mmmmm; heavenly scents or is it heaven sent?

    1. melodylowes

      Maybe both! 🙂 I love fresh herbs. I love how my hands smell after picking them, too! 😀

      1. Gallivanta

        Oh yes, it’s so good.

    It’s nice to have non-metric poems for a change.

    1. melodylowes

      Change is always good, right?

    I love dill! Lots of it was needed for cooking the grayfish for the traditional early August grayfish parties in Sweden and Finland…miss those fairly “wild” occasions of my youth. I still use it a lot, but for somewhat calmer celebrations, and I love the scent!

    1. melodylowes

      Funny how a certain scent can bring back all those memories!! Sounds like you’ve had plenty of international adventures in your lifetime already – cool!

    Such a subtle sensitive “recipe”! Love it. “Savour the sunshine,

    feast on the breeze,…” these lines brought me right into the “essence” of summer.

    1. melodylowes

      Thanks YunYi! I hope you’re enjoying your summer so far!!!
