May Gardens

For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Isn't May supposed to be Springtime?

Our Spring lasted a couple of weeks before it was consumed

with the intolerance of Summer heat...and it was only May!

Today, June 2nd is a cooler day following

overnight thunderstorms.

Sipping my coffee this morning while enjoying the cool rainy air

on our sun porch, I see last night's thunderstorm downed two large branches

in our backyard and left my flowers drenched and bent over.  

Most, if not all the flowers should bounce back.  

I hope they do as they

have been beautiful this year...

The earth laughs in flowers

Ralph Waldo Emerson
