Summer afternoon -- summer afternoon;
to me those have always been the two
most beautiful words in the English language
-Henry James
For me, summer seems like the most magical of seasons. Summertime reminds me that anything is possible and that even long forgotten dreams can flower once again.
The cold, dark season of winter sparked dreams of bountiful gardens and cool, green lawns calling to us to play. Perennial flowers, that were struggling to poke through the frozen ground only a few weeks ago, are now lush and showing off their bountiful blooms. Vegetable and herb gardens are bursting with tasty treats to spark culinary creativity and grace summer tables. Family and friends are more relaxed and eager to join in spur of the moment get togethers. The long days of sunshine spark thoughts of leisure and laughter and encourage us to make time for simple pleasures and passion.
Gather those you love, enjoy their laughter and joy. Pursue your passions. Make memories to last a lifetime.
Susan
