What happened to my June Blogging.

 What happened to my usual June blogging> Because June is Jane and Jane is June and I love summer???

Well, the truth is I have been writing and working in the garden. And my aging body has revolted. I also walk a lot and it's been very humid here in the Deep South and I have suffered due to this. Laughing. So I did not blog. I am still planting plants I bought in May, which I have kept alive somehow.

June is my birthday month and I usually celebrate being alive but I barely went into celebration mode this year. I was too busy working in the garden, dealing with weather, and then I was dealing with my aching body and trying to write a few words.

I still renew my promise each June to the Reenchantment of Everyday Life. I still consider myself a wildflower determined to write a few books, paint a few paintings and get my garden going again even though both gravity and time are pressing down on me.

I still possess a sense of wonder about the world, about living, about loving. I still feel like I can make a difference.

SO I am going to renew my efforts to bring this blog to life and write a little about myself again. I am on X/TWITTER, and I am there every day. I just started using FB again and I have plans for IG and even TIKTOK. 

At the moment I am organizing myself and my work.

“Nothing stands still, except in our memory.” ― Philippa Pearce

I am a reader.

At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book—that string of confused, alien ciphers—shivered into meaning. Words spoke to you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. You became, irrevocably, a reader."

 

                                  —Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading

P.S. Happy March, 2026!

I read a lot.
