Summer Dreams


I long for the short hot nights of Summer
Dreamy days with lullaby scents from yesteryear
Rainbows in sprinklers
And zephyrs that caress with a well practiced softness.
I long for the short hot nights of Summer
So I can lay awake wishing it were cooler.

      It’s actually quite warm today, Becky. Well, when I say warm, it’s warmer. Very windy though…

      The way time’s passing, VK, it’ll be here next week! 😀
      We’ve gone warm again now, so I have a feeling we may miss the snow this year (which isn’t really a bad thing!)

      Keep warm, VK! 😀

      Ah, yes… Spring. Not long off now, Sue! 😀
      Yes, it is my photo, but the rays in it are an added overlay.

          If last Autumn is anything to go by, hopefully Spring will be stunning, Sue!
