Summer is all about color: flowers, grass, trees, blue sky, yellow sun, sparkling blue-green water. But it's also about feeling: freedom, kicked back, relaxed, wind in your hair, sea breeze on your face, sensory overload
So today I've prepared an Ode to Summer - Enjoy!

...I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel in the grass, how to be idle and blessed,
how to stroll through the fields
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you have taken to do
With your one wild and precious life?

(And while you're enjoying your summer day, or memories of one, are you thinking of a 100th post entry for next week? Details are in yesterday's post.)

I might lay myself down in the grass soon (when it's dry again ;-) Hugs Dagmar
off to read your challenge post. i'm intrigued.
Thanks for the font name, Georgia.
I think I'd prefer it without the words superimposed. If it were hung, the words on a card next to it or written on the matte would be perfect, though.
All imho, of course!
i'm just trying to hang on to one day at a time
Char - I'm trying to live one day at a time intentionally, and not worry so much about what's coming down the road. It's not always easy:).
Thanks for sharing.
