Summer Heat

Dreaming of warm summer days
with heat and dusky haze
 warmth upon the cheek
from sun's amber glow.

Looking at the winter snow
as temperature remains below
cold that seeps into veins
wishing for summer days again.

G’day Phyllis … a common winter yearning. I thought summer was upon us with heat and humidity only to see it wet, windy and cool today - I understand you completely Phyllis - Lindsay

Hi my friend. Yes I am longing for spring and to be outside on the deck. Just had a cold week and some warmer weather coming in. Hit -27 C a couple of days and with wind chill it was darn cold. Hope you all are keeping well. love phyl

Just had a week of cold weather. Still try and get outside every day even if just for a ride. I am looking forward to spring and getting out on the deck. Hope all is well your way. love phyl

I have to admit, one benefit of teaching school virtually, is that we do not have to have snow days or any bad driving days in snowy, icy, freezing weather. Maybe that is why I am not yearning for summer yet. I have to admit every winter before this one I used to though.
