Where is The Summer?

It is almost the end of June.

It is still chilly.

When I walk around the garden in the evenings,

I need quilted jacket.

But blooming is going on.

Hesperis matronalis has started.

Now, when it is so cold,

the smell of it is a little mild.

But it glows in the twilight.

This small flowered rose is blooming.

I don't know if it is wild rose-

or just a dog rose,

where has been processed one,

that has already gone.

When it is opening,

buds looks like a crown.

and the flower is like a star

When sun comes out in late night,

it doesn't warm much.

So many plants are a little frail.

Even though they bloom.

Thalictrum aquilegiifolium haven't been my favorite,

but I like it more and more every year.

I must confess,

I want to complain. 

About rain. About cold. About wind.

To where can I send a claim?

I would love to wander and sit in the garden,

smell the summer.

Now I make just quick rounds.

And hardly notice little plants that reaches the light.

and the beauty of moss growing on the rocks.

Sigh.
