Summer Solstice
Stonehenge
By Joy Marsh



Hanging stones commingle with the sun
faithful, even though defiled;
teach us to be mindful of dying and birth.

The sons and daughters of the neoteric
solstice chant their private incantations,
morning, noon and night they observe.


Ancients attuned to the turning skies
laugh, ever so slowly at first.
It’s a long, long way from the cords of time,
to synthesize with our beating drums and pipes.


What a bumper day yesterday, yes topped 25,000 visitors!
A time to celebrate!

All people who commented yesterday..........watch this space!

No probs.

Normally I answer comments in the comment box, but for some reason blogger was playing up this morning, so I posted here instead.

I was reading in a forum yesterday about comments on blogs.
It is a really good way to not only keep in touch with what people are up to, but it also shows a response to what is written.

I have noticed that the comments increase now..sometimes people read the blog but do not comment, it is so reassuring to see comments and also a response from the blogger.
I know this is something our dear friend Daisy noticed.

Still no news on final arrangements, my heart goes out to the family...
So much red tape and procedures that "Must" be followed during such a distressing time...let's hope matters are sorted and the family can make plans for Daisy's ceremony.




I haven't managed to get out for a walk today, well not yet anyway.
I did video Wilma on the beach yesterday so I will share it with you....

Please bare in mind it is quite a task to video Wilma, throw the ball, and also take is some of the atmosphere I wanted you to feel!

What a beautiful beach, just gorgeous.

It is so difficult for family and friends with so many lealities to go through; I hope Daisy's family are soon able to set some dates.
Re; comments..I've never quite known what the blog etiquette is about answering comments...if I have time I'll go to the persons own blog to answer as I'm never sure if people come back to a previous comment box. I know it can be time consuming to not only read a post but also to go back into the previous days comments. Mind you at the moment I'm lucky if I can comment at all as my pc keeps turning off! Fingers crossed this one gets published!

I love your video of Wilma on the beach. It is a lovely place to walk her, you are fortunate it is so close to you.xx
I do make every effort to reciprocate on the blog of the people who comment on my blog. It is a way of meeting new people.
Congratulations on reaching 25,000 that is a great milestone...well done..!

I just love these videos, to hear the sounds and see what you see. Clever girl you are to multitask this way - Wilma gets full advantage and she's oh so photogenic!
I applaud you commenting to comments here. I LOVE getting comments but find it's hard to keep up commenting on others blogs and then to go back and comment on the comments I've received.(wow, that was a mouthful)
I feel so for Daisy's family as there IS so much to contend with before...well you know.
XOXOXO
Love,
Lisa
I truly hope to one day walk the beach with you!
