A Serve of Summer For You!

hi and good afternoon!

this afternoon i just want to give all those snowed, fogged, and cold, grey day folks...

a slice of summer.

there is nothing quite like a crepe myrtle blossom laden bough

reaching up to the summer blue sky

to lift the winter heavy spirits.

only a few short weeks now

and winter will flee for all of you northern people

and colour, perfume, green green leaves,

buds and blossoms

will be the order of the day!

this morning

i loaded up the washing machine and fed the worms

and then saw this crepe myrtle

and just had to capture a summer morning!

you are now standing with me in my back yard

my little palm tree

and the lawn

have loved the summer rains.

 yesterday i finished two more cushions...

this is the small 'berkeley'

with non-matching buttons!

and a yellow elephant.

'big berkeley' has an unembellished front

but..

her back...

has bling!

just a final glimpse of summer flowers

from my front yard...

i'm not sure what this pretty baby is called

but she is showy and very hardy

and minds the front gate!

many summer dreams to you!
