Oh Spring and soon summer....how time flies. The buds and blooms and fresh cut grass. What wonderful smells and beauty they bring. Take time to inhale...enjoy the sun, the nice weather, even the rain that we need, the sound of it....I love that sound. Enjoy the cool summer treats and fruits and veggies. Be grateful for the little things that make you smile.♥

Oh, the summer night
Has a smile of light
And she sits on a sapphire throne.
~Barry Cornwall

[W]oods are filled with the music of birds, and all nature is laughing under the glorious influence of Summer. ~Charles Lanman, "The Dying Year," 1840
