Images of Summer


It’s a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip of wine … 
it’s summertime! 
– Kenny Chesney
A glimpse of my summer came with a walk on the beach 
and a visit to the zoo.
That bird just sat on the fence saying "come hither and pet me,
I dare you!" My grandson, D, and I both wanted too,
but that bird would have nothing of it.
Playing with my D at the Enchanted Forest. 
Well of course we would come upon Hansel and Gretel's home
in the forest.

Picking blueberries for winter time delights.
Oh we love them in pancakes, fruit salads, and pies.
I love summertime more than anything else in the world. 
That is the only thing that gets me through the winter, 
knowing that summer is going to be there.
 – Jack McBrayer

Candles in a garden, just because they are pretty.
Not my garden, but a garden of beauty.
And as we head into autumn, sunflowers delight the day.
One final splash of bold color along with pumpkins and golden leaves to come.
One must maintain a little bit of summer, 
even in the middle of winter. 
– Henry David Thoreau

Precious memories of summer as we head into pumpkin season.
