POST 10/2026 GOSHEN IN . . . Moving from May to June is hardly cause for comment. It’s a calendar thing. Progression of the seasons. An almost imperceptible shift. The jumping-off place for summer. Talk about how it’s hot already.

To my, “hardly cause for comment,” I add the quaint verse by Rowland Watkyns, cleric and author, Wales (1614-1664):”For every marriage then is best in tune, / When that the wife is May, the husband June.” From a letter, “To the most Courteous and Fair Gentlewoman, Mrs. Elinor Williams.”

That’s enough play on the subject of seasons. It’s time to move on to a few photos of our recent “season” at home in Indiana.

Our Greencroft Retirement Community has trees, shrubs, water features and lawns that the grounds staff takes care. Resident volunteers, too, play key roles in planting and looking after specific parts of the 175-acre campus. Residents also have the option of planting a personal garden and caring for annuals and perennials around their home.The gallery shows some of outdoors, some of which we get to have a hand in.

Greencroft dedicated a plaque that recognizes the land once occupied by the Potawatomi and Miami Peoples and their trail linking Fort Wayne, Indiana with Chicago. The trail ran through part of the Greencroft campus.

I’m just finishing the book by Tim Hannigan, The Granite Kingdom: A Cornish Journey. These encounters with the past give me much to chew on and digest. To be nourished. To nourish. As the past, the present and the future fill my moments and my days.

Be well seasoned.
