Summer Time ~ Tortoise Orchard / Rabbit Haie

La Haie or Haie (Hey) is a Norman term dating from the 12th Century referring to a hedged enclosure. The Area from the left of the Picture to the center is heavy with brambles and growth and the home to rabbit families.
A small maze of footpaths enable access through Rabbit Haie.

To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -
True Poems flee.
~Emily Dickinson

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. ~Sam Keen

Summer has set in with its usual severity. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~Henry James

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

How to Grow the "Megga-Brow"

Coleslaw is the Key:
I must brag...that I'm famous among a small group of regulars for my coleslaw. The basic ingredients are shaved cabbage, green peppers, finely chopped pimiento, and pineapple. Over this goes a dressing of mayonnaise, a liberal amount of both dry mustard and prepared mustard, the juice of six lemons, olive oil, cider vinegar, hot peppers, and a magic mixture of spices and herbs that I buy from a restaurant in Hollywood, the Cock 'n Bull.

Love always, Joan
. . . you are under my power
