Summer Weekends

Through wildflower meadows we skip, feasting on sunbeams and friendship, trailing to a river's dip. Beach towel extended with our spread, guest seagulls partake of our bread. Sun our blanket, brunch in bed. Orange glazed croissants, yogurt parfait. Fresh picked wildflower bouquet. Tree shade chandelier display. Giggles ripple like current bends. Our imagination transcends trickling shores, summer weekends. 2-2-2021

This is a FAVE for me. I'm going to read it 100X a day, 'til all the snow melts here in Chicago. Thank you for helping me get through a brutal winter. With gratitude, Gershon

Thanks, Gershon. Glad that you enjoyed it. Yeah, you guys got hit hard with the snow. I heard this year was supposed to be la nina for much of the north, but seems it missed us so far and it has been unusually mild here. We like to plan our summer vacations in the winter to divert our minds from the weather (also campgrounds can be reserved 6 months in advance.)
