Run the Earth and Watch the Sky: When it is very hot . . . .

In lieu of trying to belong to any number of societies: Chesterton, Sherlock Holmes, the Inklings, and so on: I propose and establish one of my own. Don your intelligence cap at the door; dust off your logic and imagination; did you bring your inspiration and encouragement? We are shapers, my friends; lit lamps; light-bringers. Bring quotes; poetry should be uplifting and thoughtful, or witty and clever, (or both). Humor is encouraged; laughter is invited back. Pull up a chair. Anyone for tea?

When it is very hot . . . .

. . . you don't do a great deal besides drinking water and lemonade, and watering the gardens. But, besides those chief occupations, we have enjoyed music and humming fans, biking over to see sister, niece and nephew, some light housework, and some reading. . .

I didn't know Ben was taking the picture :)

Natalie said...: My favorite part of the Ithilien chapters is where the country is described as having a "disheveled dryad loveliness". Tolkien can use words like no other!; June 12, 2011 at 7:32 AM
