Welcome to Simple Abundance Online
June 2009!

Dearest Friends,

June. Loveliest of English months. Even our unmade garden is full of beauty, the English writer Phyllis Nicolson observed in 1941. And how right she is. Honeysuckle over the door floods the evening with fragrance. Lupins, white waxen lilies, scarlet, poppies mingle in happy confusion behind burgeoning potatoes. And a nightingale sits in the great oak singing to the moon. This is the month we throw open the doors and windows to find that homegrown contentment can’t be contained in four walls.

Ah, the joys of June – and wherever you are won’t you please join me as we rediscover the simple enchantments of backyard bliss—old fashioned laundry line reveries, the ritual of porch teas, rose syrups and biscuits, strawberry shortcake. For our shady nook sojourns I’ve two surprises for you. The first is an essay from the forties by Daphne du Maurier the famed English author of Rebecca on the delights of doing nothing tangible or how to putter persuasively about the house and in the garden. Then for your hammock reading, a Vintage Bliss story from 1916 about a homemaker who discovers her own Simple Abundance one room at a time. I know it will charm you as much as it did me, encouraging us to take another look around at our everyday Edens. Our happy band of kindred spirits doesn’t just extend around the world but back through time!

May June bust out all over with unexpected blessings of peace and plenty for you and yours.

Sending you blessings and a prayer for Deep Joy,

Sarah Ban Breathnach
