Thank you Connie. I position my lounger in the sunspot and stay until those shadows cover me completely. Lovely to see you again this evening.

A touch of Yeats’ ‘Lake Isle...,’ very evocative and pleasing, Jean.

That's right Geoffrey. I never thought of that. I have been to see the lake isle. A very calm place.

Can't you feel it in the air Jan? It is so short. I see in the kigo description, summer is 6th of May to 7th of August.

Thank you Vijay. There is a certain spot in my garden that gets the last of the summer light before twilight.
