The clouds are here for show


To dream of rain
To clear the air
To dampen down the land
Seems such a shame
Perhaps unfair
But necessary, understand

With scorching Sun
And searing heat
And an everlasting thirst
It becomes less fun
When one must retreat
But find a cool spot first!

But just a drop
Not a lot
Enough to freshen up
So Summer stays
With long warm days
And clouds to top it off

A Summery Six Word Saturday post.

    Nice sky in the waterfall picture. Waterfall too but especially the sky.

      Thanks, Sharon. I hope your weekend back at the beginning of July was a good one as well! (I have never been so far behind with my replies… this is just ridiculous!) πŸ˜€

      I’ve kept lukewarm, Elaine. Cool avoided me for some reason, although things seem a lot nicer now! πŸ˜€

          It’s getting there, Elaine. Shower still needs fully fitting and then accessories need buying but it’s almost done. The bath is luxurious! And there’s no hole in the wall, which is a bonus!!! πŸ˜€

    The top one is very relaxing, almost a chill in the air. ☺️

      That’s the cool blues, Cheryl. Very much needed when the temperature is as it has been recently!
