Summer Thoughts
Summer season – hearts sing.
Summer season – outdoor things.
Robins chirping high on a limb; hummingbirds hovering by delphiniums.
Grass growing lush and green; wind blows every day it seems.
Blooming flowers galore – dianthus, peonies, daisies and more.
Heat radiates from sun; shade of trees welcome.
Birdbath filled to brim; full feeders hung from tree limbs.
Reading outdoors on deck; birds splashing in birdbath getting wet.
Sipping sweet tea, watching a nuthatch on tree.
Feathered friends flit and stop by; finches, orioles, colorful to the eye.
Mosquitoes, flies and gnats; butterflies, orange and black.
Squirrels scurrying across lawn; fluffy white clouds, soft colors at dawn.
Fishing, boating at the lake; watermelon, hot dogs, milkshakes.
Summer season…days go by fast.
Living in Iowa…we know summer doesn’t last.
