Wonderful! It’s amazing that it is in the city. What a treasure! Those are much the same as we have growing in MA.
We have a winner....ding, ding, ding:)
Gorgeous summertime graphic, all the good things in it.
All the kitties I’ve had have loved summertime, warmth, sun.

‘Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.’
A sharp tongue can cut my own throat.
If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn't oversleep.
Of all the things I wear, my expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends..... B1.
The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.
One thing I can give and still keep...is my word.
I lie the loudest when I lie to myself.
If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished.
One thing I can't recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won't work unless ‘ I ‘ do.
My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what I might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the one's who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
My ride’s here. Gotta run.
See you later.
Cardi, those blossoms are incredible! Thank you for sharing the beauty with us!
A looooong time ago there were magic eye images posted to Amy’s place, and one was of a rabbit.
And it inspired me to write the below drek:
The attack rabbits of Verdde 5 had hidden themselves well among the foliage.
They waited in twitch-nosed anticipation for the signal to attack.
But first, two brave scouts had to creep along stealthily through the thick lush greenery to take a peek a the inhabitants of this soon to be DOOMED world.
But, the attack stalled long before it had even started.
The scouts, like all rabbits, had stopped for a little nibble of greenery along the way.
But beware, the invaders are cunning, and hide well.
The attack may restart without notice from anywhere among the shrubbery.....
Mama Bear, you always have the perfect picture for what ever poem is posted. Beautiful. Thank you and Just Amy for all that you do here. Aloha
One of the great things about summer around here is that I live close to two schools and they are out for the summer!! Cuts back on the traffic and pandemonium.
Violet lavender drug
slipping beneath my skin,
shucking off the stale air
of too long shut in,
too long shut away
whispering to me
to breathe deep and be.
The clothes fall away
till I stand like mother Eve
two bites before the apple.
Lips blush to rose,
and the tongue tastes
of sweet tart pomegranate,
while a wisp of wind
carries hair to frame my face.
All I have been is pollen dusted,
oh the wisteria sweet
kissing deep,
till I feel the promise of fertile,
drooping fat on a vine
petals that promise nothing,
but hint at all.
A month from honeysuckle still to come,
but I can taste the nights,
raise my eyes to the mantle of sky,
suddenly clad in the skin
of every moonlit woman,
and beckoning with my being
for you to dance beneath
the far flung sky
in the arms of a Wisteria Woman
-- by Lisa Shields
.
A drop fell on the apple tree,
Another on the roof;
A half a dozen kissed the eaves,
And made the gables laugh.
A few went out to help the brook,
That went to help the sea.
Myself conjectured, Were they pearls,
What necklaces could be!
The dust replaced in hoisted roads,
The birds jocoser sung;
The sunshine threw his hat away,
The orchards spangles hung.
The breezes brought dejected lutes,
And bathed them in the glee;
The East put out a single flag,
And signed the fete away.
— by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
