The One
You know that moment in summer, the very first one? It is the day the strawberries ripen and the sun glows and the earth is deeply, deeply warm and the soil feels like the truth, the root of everything.
You pick the first berry and it is such a deep red you want to sigh and the way your fingers hold the fruit like your mother and her mother and hers makes you want to laugh and throw yourself into the wind.
This is the moment, the one just before you taste the first berry, this one.
This is how I feel today.

I was just about to ask in amazement if you got berries already in the Maine January. :ROTFL:
Yep! I am feeling that way about the wind right now! :big-smile:

I find myself longing for summer and all it’s perfection.
What a great way to feel (=
I’ve been offline for quite a while…man is it good to read you beautiful way with words….missed you and your beautiful family
:so-cool:
Me too!
I can’t wait to smell the sun rippened berries of summer! It is such a good feeling and I wish I could capture it right now.
Yum to moments like that, and prose like yours. Lisa
I know it’s corny but I could almost taste it!
Oh yummy! I really miss summer fruits. Their frozen counterparts are just not the same.
I’ve been thinking fondly of those warm winds myself, lately.
Thanks so much for adding this beauty into my day.
