We had a lovely rain here last night, and today is a perfect day in June. The earth smells rich and ripe and growing! What a perfect description you write, and I feel better, more rested, just having read it. Thanks for sharing your perfect June day with us, Pete...you do such beautiful work! Scarlett

Sweet sadness recollected in tranquillity. A snapshot to be treasured in the landscapes of the mind. Kindest regards, Sandra

What a heavenly poem, Pete! It is the most beautifully written poem I have ever read of a summer's day in England. As I know where you are in that little corner of Yorkshire by the sea, I can appreciate the beauty of it even more, I think. It is a truly excellent poem - one that I shall keep and treasure always. You are such a fine poet, Pete. It is always a pleasure reading more of your poems. Congratulations on this one - it's the best!
