Wonderful Summer Days

These are perfectly wonderful summer days !    Remember, we thought Summer would never, ever come this year.  Now we have had a stretch of perfect, blue-sky days...cool, refreshing mornings and real warm days with evenings we hate to leave to go inside.  The gardens are happy, the grass is lush...Ahh, smell the new mown hay.  We've so many blessings to be thankful for.  Thank you Lord !  

These times inspire me to poetry!  So here is a little poem for you.

                                    Summer Twilight
See the Lemon Lillies
Abloom on slender stalks,
Like garden lights
Along the forrest walk.

Hear the distant fluty trill,
Music, sweet and clear,
Her song, as the day grows still,
The elusive Hermit Thrush.

Feel the flutter of a summer breeze,
Like a fleeting kiss
Upon a blushing cheek,
As it whispers through the trees.

You take my hand,
What love and peace around us flows!
Together we climb the last hill home,
Follow the twinkling lights of the fireflies' glow.

Here's a painting from last

year.  I call it Haying Time.

Enjoy the day !
