Watching as you leave…
August, you brought lots of sunshine,
Must I say goodbye?
I am not looking forward
To those Fall days
Of less sun and shorter days
That September brings.
Oh, that Summertime would linger
Instead of running away.

Summer’s New Normal??
Summer’s been sleeping,
Wasting her alotted days
Procrastinating.
Weather man keeps promising
Tomorrow for sure
We’ll see her warm sunny smile,
Yet so far it seems
She keeps on hibernating.
Will tomorrow ever come?

Missing Summer
News dampens spirits,
Is the weather mimicking?
Summer has vanished
Haiku
It’s July 2nd and in my area of the Pacific Northwest we are experiencing what I feel is a late start to good ol’ summertime.
The weather has been very changeable, quite like the daily news reports.
We’ve had a few warm days but not many and it seems more like Spring to me instead of Summer, as each day I awaken to gloomy cloudy skies, chilly temps and occasional rain sprinkling, this can put a damper on one’s spirit quite like the morning news reports often do lately.
Sigh. Oh where, oh where has my beloved Summer gone? Has she vanished with all our other normalcy?
I hope not. I hope she returns soon. I miss her sunny smile and gentle hugs of warmth.
How’s the weather where you reside? Are you experiencing the same, or does Summer alive and active in your area?
Blazing Banner
Across the heavens
Stretches a banner of fire
Blazing summer sun

All day I enjoyed the presence and the heat of the Summer Sun that has once again visited my area in the Pacific Northwest. I love summer and sunshine!
Last night that summer sun left us in a blaze of fiery red, orange and yellow glory, stretching across the western horizon like a banner. It was amazing to see the beauty of it!
I was able to capture it with my cell phone camera but the picture just doesn’t show the full depth of its intense color.
Welcome Summertime!
Twenty Two days since
June arrived to bring us
Summertime again
How long we have waited
Anticipating
The sunshine to greet us
Each morning we woke
And now in the midst of it
We treasure each moment

Celebrating
Summer’s finally here!
The time I wait for all year!
Its been a long day

First day of Summer is the longest day of the year and at noon on this day your shadow is at its shortest.
Long day- Short shadow- Summer’s something to celebrate I think! 😃
Delightful Day
First day of Spring
Sun is shining bright
Daffodils

To the music of songbirds
In the gentle breeze

Blessings to all my family, friends and followers!
I hope you are all are experiencing a delightful First Day of Spring wherever you are at this time.
I do pray for those in quarantine and lockdown that they can still look outside and see the beauty of nature and for those who are shut in with illnesses at this time I pray for your speedy recovery as well.
Robin’s Return
“Long time no see!
My fair weather friend!
Make yourself welcome,
Winter’s at it’s end.”
Syllabic Verse
(Me talking to the Robin I saw in my yard this morning! 😃Such a welcome sighting!))
Springtime Awakenings
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums

Memories on Canvas
Thoughts of cherry trees on
Gloomy winter afternoon
Paintbrush reads my mind
