It is often difficult to determine a separation of seasons in California but, according to the Old Farmers Almanac, the first day of summer for 2013 is on June 21st this year. Although I am not a hot weather person, there is something about the initial warmth of sunshine on one's face, the sounds of the bees buzzing about their business, the heat bringing out the scent of the flowers, and the butterflies. I really like butterflies. It is sad, however, that seeing one is an event these days. Too many people, houses, and cars seems to have chased these flying masterpieces to other places. It is, however, the one benefit of having any kind of flowers or garden going as the few that seem to flutter around usually appear to show off their pretty colors and intricate designs before heading off to safer abodes.
