A rainy, stormy summer day...

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky, is by no means waste of time. ~John Lubbock


Hot and steamy outside......I remember running out in the rain when I was young....it was so refreshing...such fun....



Each fairy breath of summer, as it blows with loveliness, inspires the blushing rose. ~Author Unknown

Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer’s year — it brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul. ~Author Unknown

Summer set lip to earth’s bosom bare,

And left the flushed print in a poppy there.
~Francis Thompson

I hope you all take the time to 
enjoy the beauty around you, when ever you can...
take a look at the hue of a softened sky-
to the green of the trees and the grace of nature-
the birds that gather-the songs that they sing-take a
deep breath find joy in simple things..we never know

what life has in store for us tomorrow.

Have joy filled day.....♥

Another summer...

A year has passed...so much happening....but once again summer is here...the sweet soft scents in the air...the warm sun on the skin...the rainy days ...the hot days...and the cooler ones when I can open the windows...hear the birds singing their songs....all back once again. 
The fruits.....the berries...yum... the ice cream that just tastes that much better in the summer....the corn and all that comes with the season...so special. 
Life seems to pass so quickly......you have to take it all in, enjoy it while we have it.

"Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. ~Russel Baker


A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. ~James Dent


If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance. ~Bern Williams

The luxury of all summer's sweet sensation is to be found when one lies at length in the warm, fragrant grass, soaked with sunshine, aware of regions of blossoming clover and of a high heaven filled with the hum of innumerous bees. ~Harriet E. Prescott

I am Summer, come to lure you away from your computer... come dance on my fresh grass, dig your toes into my beaches. ~Oriana Green
