I made some cordial last summer with plums and apples – but then I saw this blog post early in July. It is a gooseberry cordial! I immediately went home to my parents and robbed their gooseberry bush.
(I asked first. Or maybe said – I will drop by to get your gooseberries. Either way, I informed.)
The difference from last summer, I had less berries so I didn’t bother bringing the steamer to make this. That means, it is a simpler and easier process. And less to clean up.
“Come with me,’ Mom says.
To the library.
Books and summertime
go together.”

“I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay
“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
― Henry James
There is something so intrinsically friendly and happy about a summer field filled with buttercups.
I see that this video was recorded in 1984… so, I can’t claim summer memories from it – I was a year old back then. But the feeling of just lazing about in a hammock… that’s summer.
What’s summer for you?
