Hot everywhere and everyone is talking about it. July all fiery and flaming so much so that you are in a mental daze moving in slow-mo from shady spot to water on repeat. Unless of course you can’t, in which case you are stumbling along on these dog days of summer. We are desperate to think clearly but have to admit defeat in this heat.

Cosmos grow into the sky mirroring the big expanse with a dance in a wind of notoriety. You can guess what their secret is, that purple flower and the whole universe, it’s that obvious. But still, you admire them for teaming up like that. Homonyms do like that.

Joy makers these yellow button delights growing along every highway and byway igniting the pollinators who in turn sprout up our edible world. Everywhere in my yard bumblebees laden with pollen lug up to half their body weight as they visit thousands of flowers every day.

This “Day’s Eye” have been spotted since 2,200 BC heralding new beginnings each dawn. What an fabulous bearer of what’s to come! There is plenty of newness on our horizon and maybe yours too? Everything is possible on this July evening in the middle of Cancer.
