MUSHROOM SEASON – All the recent rain has helped create a productive mushroom growing season. I do not know enough about wild mushrooms to harvest them, but I know many people look forward to seeing them appear. We have thoughts that grow like mushrooms. Some are productive. Some are dangerous.

INSIDE OUT – The wind blowing across the valley from Mount Washington turned the leaves on the maples inside out. It was a different look than we are accustomed to when visiting the Lupine Field. In the winter this wind will drift the snow outside the Cabin. In life, things sometimes turn inside out. It is a matter of patience.

A VARIETY OF COLORS – I love to see the variety of colors that always seem to vary each year when the phlox bloom in August and September. They remind me of the uniqueness in each person that helps create varieties of positive intentions in life.

SLENDER YARROW – The few yarrow plants we have are now in full bloom. They are slender with fern type leaves and small blossoms that are easy to miss against the backdrop of larger vegetation. Yet they are special, just as there are many people who are missed in the background of their lives.

WANTED: CHILDREN OF ALL AGES – This has not been the best of years to walk and play on the grounds at the Center due to the abnormal amount of rain we have had, but the Fairy Pathway is ready for children of all ages to visit. It is good to let the child in our minds come out to play.

FAMILY AFFAIR – We like to think that the Center and its land is welcome to families of all ages. I see constant evidence of that by those that hike the trails, visit the Peace Garden, or walk the Labyrinth and Grace Trail. Nature’s animal families are also welcome. We are all one big family.

THE RED SUMAC IS IN BLOOM – Another indication that fall is getting closer is the blossoms on the sumac trees. Their leaves will be some of the first to turn brilliant red soon after the swamp maples turn. The sumac is fast growing and can easily take over a vacant field, almost like unwanted ideas can take over our minds.

THE PLUM TREE – The old plum tree has never provided us with much fruit. They usually disappear just before they are ready to pick, thanks to the birds. Still, the blossoms smell really nice in the spring. It is just another one of attempts at having a fruit orchard. Still, it’s nice to enjoy.

PICKLING PEARS – Years ago we planted two pear trees, one with standard size fruit and the other with smaller pickling pears. We have never really harvested either one. The big pears are scabby, and we don’t know what to do with the smaller ones. The same happens in life when we have abilities that we don’t know what to do with.

TURNING GOLDEN – The goldenrod is now becoming the star of the Lupine Field, creating a segway into the fall season. It will remain in bloom until we cut the field in late September-October. It is also the time of year people enjoy the harvest season as they reflect and plan for next year.

DISCOVERING THE OLD STONE PATH - The person who built the Center some eighty years ago also created a flat stone walkway-path from the front door to the stone stairs leading to his garden. Over time Nature covered the stones up, until Derek found them again. A lot of things in life get covered up over time.

HENS AND CHICKENS – I remember the puzzling question when I was young as to whether the hen or the egg came first. I think of that when I see our hens and chickens in bloom. Besides thinking about the future, Nature often reminds us of things from our past.

TINY MATCHSTICKS – I love to find tiny matchsticks growing in places where they could easily be overlooked by the casual hiker. Some of my earliest memories are of my grandmother gathering some, along with varieties of moss, to make a terrarium. She brought nature inside and into my heart.

THE PHLOX ARE IN BLOOM – Another special treat in August is when the phlox begin to blossom. This tall flower easily regenerates itself when it scatters its seeds, often in places that fall victim to a lawn mower in the coming year. There are late blooming people who do make a positive difference when sharing their abilities.

FLOURISHING ON THE EDGE – There is a patch of brown eyed susans flourishing on the very edge of some exposed granite near the top of the Lupine Field. The thin layer of topsoil has weathered away, but the flowers are holding fast. People often are at their best when living on the edge.

ANOTHER FLOWER IN THE MIX – Somewhere along the line we discovered echinacea, also known as cone flower, growing in the Lupine Field. We are not sure how it got there but are pleased at having them part of the mix. Life has a lot of interesting mixes to it.

RAIN ACROSS THE VALLEY – We sat on the bench at the top of the Lupine Field and watched the rain clouds drift across the valley. As we headed back to the Cabin, drops of water began falling on us. Fortunately, it passed soon, and I was reminded of how quickly things in life can change.

RAGGED ROBIN – After the lupine have gone to seed, another beautiful flower, the ragged robin, takes over the show. I’m not sure how it took root here, but it is very welcome. When we pay attention to the present in life, we discover a lot of beauty.

A PERFECT SUMMER DAY – It seems as if we wait all year to experience a perfect summer day when the temperature and humidity are just right and the sky is filled with beautiful floating clouds. Often when that day gets here, we are too busy to notice, and afterwards, we begin the wait again.

POTENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE – There is at least one apple in the old orchard that looks like it has great potential to be combined with others in the fall as part of the ingredients for an apple pie. In life we have projects and ideas that have good potential for the future if we persevere.

NEW DISCOVERIES – As we begin our journey through August, many of the varieties of day lilies have finished flowering and so I was delighted to discover a different color just beginning to bloom. In life, just when we think there is nothing new to discover, we find there is much left to find.

A MID-SUMMER TREAT – The rainy weather seems to have been good for the wild blueberries growing on the mountain. They are great in muffins, pies, and just plain by the handful. It is a treat not only for the stomach, but for the mind. It is time to enjoy.

DOUBLE PLEASURE – I can think of a lot of food items that double my pleasure when I am eating them, like extra whipped cream or chocolate syrup. We have a double orange lily that doubles my pleasure when looking at them, and I can hold the pleasure in my heart so I can experience it again.

RECONNECTING WITH THE PAST – Recently we spent a couple of days at the family cabin on a lake in Maine, built by my parents over sixty years ago. Now in a trust, it is with a feeling of gratitude that we watch our children and grandchildren create their own memories to revisit in the future.

HINTS OF FALL – The goldenrod have begun to bloom, hinting of the fall season to come. By September the landscape will be ablaze with these bright yellow flowers. Right now there are other flowering plants to focus on before the goldenrod have their turn.

SOUNDS IN THE SILENCE – Up on the mountainside the sounds of the valley drift away, and yet in the silence the voice in our mind is still creating a dialogue with itself. You may be able to hear it better in Nature than in the hustle and bustle of life, but it is still there wherever you go. Think positive.

A SEA OF YELLOW – Small yellow wildflowers grow in a large patch that looks like a sea of yellow floating on the surface of the Orchard. It is amazing the effect that one small blossom combined with others like them can have on the landscape. Positive actions can do the same in life.

READY TO GO TO SEED – The grasses in the Orchard and Lupine Field have matured and are ready to go to seed, insuring that a healthy crop will come back again next year. We are constantly spreading and sowing positive actions to help insure they will encourage others to do the same.

ANOTHER NEW DISCOVERY – I recently discovered another day lily in a different color. It is redder than the others, and, as always, I am excited when I discover something new in life, whether it is in Nature or discovering talents in people I had not known before.

EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE SAME AS THE RESULTS – Hostas have big leaves leading to big expectations by people not familiar with them that they would produce big flowers. They happen to be very small. Sometimes big ideas with expectations produce small results.

VARIETY, THE SPICE OF LIFE AND GARDEN – A different color day lily provides me a variety of the same plant all summer long. Life is full of varieties, and I sometimes look at that as the same thing, only differently.

MID SUMMER YELLOW – The meteorological summer is halfway over and, as always, passing too fast. Keeping watch of day lilies as they bloom helps me focus on each day with the appreciation of the beauty surrounding me. It is so easy to miss these moments, and midsummer yellow lilies help.

BUGGED – We have many different kinds of bugs (insects) that find their way to the mountain. Some are good for the plants and trees while others are not. Some exist below the surface, such as termites. We also think of bugged as having information secretly collected on us. Interesting how a word can be taken so differently.

A SUMMER OF WAITING – Back in May we purchased and erected a new screened gazebo for summer picnics at the Cabin. So far it has been a summer of waiting for the weather to cooperate. Then again, I consider resistance as something that is working for us rather than against us. I will wait and see.

IN A FLASH – The forecast was for torrential rain, and we watched it turn our gentle brook ugly and listened on our scanner to emergency calls about roads being washed out. In a flash our environment changed, but we were prepared.

THE PROOF IS IN THE TRACKS – Derek recently spent a day and a half weeding and cleaning up his flower garden at the Center. My wife and I drove by just after nine in the morning expecting to see him working. Instead, there was a deer in his place. He didn’t see the deer, but we showed him the tracks. People doing good deeds are often not seen.

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT – We stood beside the small frog pond at the Center admiring flowers when we heard a loud croak, and then another one from a different location. Following the sound, I searched for the frog. It was hidden in plain sight. Many people hide their abilities in plain sight.

TRANSPLANTS – I have found it takes a while for transplanted shrubs and trees to reestablish their root systems before they start to really grow. The hydrangeas at the Center took about five years. When people move or start something new, it can take some time to establish their roots again.

LASTING POWER – I love the different variety of daylilies in the gardens that provide color from June to September. When one runs out of flowers, another one begins. Then there is one variety that flowers all summer. There are people that have staying power and there are those that give up easily.

DELICATE WHITE ASTILBES – Another flower in bloom is the white astilbes. Their delicate appearance makes it easy for them to be overlooked by larger and bolder flowers. There are people who have a lot to say while others are quiet, but when they do speak, a few words make a big difference.

PINK SPIREA – Years ago I planted a slender shrub with pink blossoms that, when trimmed, keeps flowering all summer. They have also reseeded themselves, jumping the stone wall. I think of people who go about their lives doing good things that could use some encouragement to do more.

THE FUTURE IS NOW – When Derek began to plan the gardens at the Center, he saw it in his mind. He brought some lilies from his own garden. Now they are beginning to bloom. The future began with the planning. It is an interesting concept to believe that the past, present, and future are one.

PLANNING FOR THE ANIMALS – When we had the Lupine Field created, the forester also included a healthy planting of clover to provide feed for the animals and nectar for the insects. That move has brought us many moments of joy over the years since. Nature and man can live in harmony.

ONE SNIP AT A TIME – My wife is very goal orientated. She is always active and often at her computer or her sewing machine, and when we walk the trails, she carries a hand pruner to snip branches that grow in the way. As for me, I am never done and always finished. She does make a big difference.

A CREATURE OF HABIT – People are often labeled creatures of habit when they repeat certain things on a steady basis. These habits can be positive, like exercise or meditating, or destructive, such as smoking. We have a single turkey that often shows up at the same time in the afternoon.

ORANGE DAY LILIES, THE BANE OF THE FLOWER GARDEN – Years ago I remember reading an expert gardener’s opinion of orange day lilies. He felt they did not deserve to be planted in a flower garden. Personally, I love to see this common flower growing along the roads, and I know a common person has special gifts.

MILKING IT FOR THE MOST – Milkweed is now in bloom, and the butterflies and bees will be milking its nectar. I am reminded of an old phrase, “Milking it for the most”, that relates to how we try to get the most out of something. I used to study things I wanted to do until I had done my best.

LUSH LANDSCAPE – With all the rainy days this past month, the landscape is very lush, and sometimes I think of it as the jungle of the north. I am also reminded of how people view the landscape of life. For some it is dry and barren without positive intentions, while others experience a lush existence.
