Lovely morning weeding, harvesting, sowing and generally pottering about in the sun at our #CommunityGarden #OrganicGardening #RaisedBedGarden
We didn't get any rain,but we did get a belter of a dusk sky #SummerDusk
Hot, humid, air crackling with expectation. Thunder cracks, we wait for rain.
Thank god for literature. That's all. As you were.
Reading as dusk falls, honeysuckle scenting the evening, song thrush and blackbird, the first few stars.

‘Lucie Cousturier (1876 - 1925) in her Garden’
By Maximilien Luce

A note on the back of the picture states that it is a study or ‘première pensée’ for a larger painting. Luce was born in Paris and was a pupil of Paul Signac, one of the leading Neo-Impressionists. He was also greatly influenced by Georges Seurat whose masterpiece Sunday afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (Art Institute, Chicago) was at one time owned by Lucie Cousturier, the subject of Luce’s picture.

Realised that in my paddleboard excitement yesterday I called Mastodon 'Mastadon'. My descent into cringe continues.
Hello Mastadon. Today I stood up on the paddleboard and STAYED STANDING UP instead of faceplanting the sea within 15 seconds.
