Summer is officially here for the Hastings-Reed Home

First concert of the summer - Avett Brothers at the Fraze.  It was an awesome night and an awesome concert. David Mayfield surprised  everyone when he came out and played for the encore! Here's to many more nights and days of music to come this summer!

Time for brunch on the deck and then being able to share with Kitty.

I unapologetically love Hillary

There are many beautiful things blooming in my world.

Ray Bradbury died today

I loved reading Ray Bradbury and I loved teaching him to my students. It was through his stories that I truly came to understand and appreciate what science fiction as a genre is, a cautionary tale as to what the future might hold if we don't pay attention to our lives and the directions we take in our societies.

Thank you Mr. Bradbury for enriching our lives and causing us to think.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it ~ Mark Twain

For behold the winter is past

The rain is over and gone

The flowers have already appeared in the land

The time has arrived for pruning the vines

And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.

The fig tree has ripened its figs

And the vines in blossom has given forth their fragrance,.

Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,

And come along!

Song of Solomon
