Consider the summer heat beat. We had our first Wild Medicine Cocktail Evening & Summer Concert last Thursday night, and while you won’t see the Yvette Cup on our tables for the next event on July 18, we’ll certainly have something just as quenching and unique. Tickets are up and going out the door as we speak—don’t miss out!

“Then it was that the monstered moth
Which had lain folded against the blue
And the colored purple of the lazy sea,
And which had drowsed along the bony shores,
Shut to the blather that the water made,
Rose up besprent and sought the flaming red
Dabbled with yellow pollen—red as red
As the flag above the old cafe——”

No swimming in the Rock Garden cascade, please! Admiring, daydreaming, basking in the hint of a breeze cast off by the flow of the water—yeah, those are okay.

We’re glad summer waited until its allotted solstice to get here, but wow, did it ever arrive. It’s warm out this week, and the flowers are basking accordingly!
