Ill! We have Berries, for the parching!
Weary! Furloughs of Down!
Perplexed! Estates of Violet – Trouble ne’er looked on!
Captive! We bring Reprieve of Roses!
Fainting! Flasks of Air!

But, which is it – Sir?

Welcome Summer!
Welcome, indeed! Hope you have a warm and wonderful weekend, my friend.
Hugs from Ecuador,
Kathy
Thank you, Kathy! My weekend was warm and wonderful, not humid and sticky as it often is here. *hugs*
Fun, Festive, Whimsical! I love the candles in each of their pointy hats!
Candles lighting the way through the garden are far more enchanting than using flashlights!
And to think I bought my last bunch of roses last weekend, as our warm weather is overtaken by the cool. A big welcome to your summer, Barbara. 🙂
Oh Joanne, my roses are just starting to bloom! I think of you often, my friend on the opposite side of the world – when I’m getting ready for bed I know your day is just getting started, and when summer comes here, winter comes to you. 🙂
What a fun illustration for the summer solstice. . . Happy Summer!
Thank you, Sheryl, and a Happy Summer to you, too!
The changing of the seasons, love it!
Thank you, Tracy!
This is wonderful and fun, Barbara. Thank you! Happy Summer to you! 🙂
Thank you, Robin, and a Happy Summer to you, too!
Magical! Happy summer, my friend.
Wishing you an enchanting summer, too, my friend!
What an unusual painting. Reminds me more of Autumn than Summer…. there’s something chilly about it. I’m always fascinated by your choice of images.
It is fascinating how a painting can be interpreted in so many different ways. To me, the color blue and the daisy-like flowers seem summery, but I can see a little autumn in the grains. Perhaps late summer? I feel like this is what I might see if I should lie down in a meadow on a summer evening.
Splendid way to welcome summer, Barbara! Poem and illustration are a match made in heaven, I think. XO ♥
Oh my, thank you for your lovely comment, Diane! Sorry I didn’t catch it sooner. 🙂 *hugs*
