SUMMER Zen

Hidden birds sing as cool and clear
As a bamboo forest.
Between swinging willows
Sun beams glimmer
Like golden threads.
Clouds return to this calm valley.
The winds carry the fragrance of almonds.
By sitting alone all day long
I clear my mind of a thousand thoughts.
To speak of this is beyond words;
Only by sitting under the quiet forest
Can we ever understand.

- Fa Yen (885-958)

In memoriam Marilyn French

And the winner is ...

Strange coincidences! Another helpful blogger has won the 50$ Gift Card. Again there were much more Squidoo participants than bloggers but Random.org seems to have an inclination towards the bloggers.

This time Naddez over at Naddez's Goody Corner won the 50$ Gift card in the May/June Giveaway. She is a blogger who has helped us spread the word about the Giveaway.

CONGRATULATIONS Naddez!

Next coincidence:
She also nominated Short Storiers: Squirrels by lensmaster Ladymermaid as her favorite summer lens! Congratulations again, Ladymermaid! Your lens is definitely a nominee for the title of "SUMMER Lens 2009".

Squirrels

Group Discussion

Introduce yourself ...

Tell us where you live, what summer is like in your part of the world, your favorite summer activities ... and don't forget to nominate your favorite Woman Power SUMMER lens for the May and June Giveaway (see above)!

Thank you for accepting my lenses into the group. I'm enjoying looking through others here--lots of REALLY great lenses. We've had a long winter here in Flagstaff, so I'm really soaking up the warmer weather and everything that goes with it. Festivals downtown, hiking, camping, free outdoor concerts ... yardwork. Anyhow, this is a great group and thank you, Heipet, for all the work you put into it.

Great group you have and your active leadership is what all groups need. I visited 3 of the member lenses - all interesting. My favorite is http://www.squidoo.com/smallgardens . The Aerogarden is a fun, fresh idea that could work for me in a condo, no yard. Commented, rated, favored and lensrolled to my Herb Garden lens.

Wow the choice was very difficult but I've decided to nominate the lens called, How to tie a Sarong, because it caught my attention, contains good information and was very nicely made.

Although I wasn't born in summer, I consider myself a summer kid because I love summer. To me summer equals fun! I love it when I wake up in the morning and it's already in the 70's outside. I can just dress in t-shirt and shorts, and I don't have to wear shoes. I'm in southeast Texas and although it's not officially summer yet, I'm already enjoying the warm weather.
