That's right, "Be Cool!" is the byword around town and especially at Cottage Greene.

Drink plenty of iced tea, lemonade, fruit smoothies, red wine.

Grill fresh hamburgers, steaks with krauter butter, chicken legs and brats.

Read good books. Relax..............



Petunia sets the example for Cottage

residents -- rest by day

(best to cover one's eyes against the bright sun)

and stay alert at night.





Watch for "lightning bugs", spiders,

neighborhood nightly visitors
(anything that moves, really)

from strategic locations.


Our prized Poppy continues to entertain by producing

a succession of beautiful blossoms.

This picture doesn't do it justice ~ it doesn't capture

the wonderful beauty and stirring drama of fragile blossoms

unfolding from the stiff outer "bud".



We are certainly enjoying the warm, sunny weather now that summer has arrived at Cottage Greene! ~M
