Summer

Apples in the orchard

Mellowing one by one;

Strawberries upturning

Soft cheeks to the sun;

Roses faint with sweetness,

Lilies fair of face,

Drowsy scents and murmurs

Haunting every place;

Lengths of golden sunshine,

Moonlight bright as day -

don't you think that summer's

Pleasanter than May?

  2. Oh Kelly, Happy Summer faces . I can just hear the squeal.

    We have had a warmish day today too. We have just finished making a hammock. So I have three little bodies rocking in the Sun.

    Have a lovely outdoorsy day

    Warm regards
    Suzanne

  3. movinginspirals, thank you. He was pretending to be a little bird flapping his wings, flying!

    Suzanne, what fun to make a hammock! I am sure your three little bodies will be there most of the day, swaying away. Post pictures!

    Best wishes
    Kelly
