Happy Summer!!! The longest day of the year. Here in the south it has been summer feeling for a while now. Rain is in the forecast though for the next 5 or so days. That makes me happy. My garden hose broke last week and my plants went 7 or 8 days without water and they didn't look so good. Finally got the hose on them and they are going to make it. I didn't have time to get the camera out this morning so I have no blooms today.
Thought I'd leave ya with a poem today to welcome summer.
SUMMER
Summer season brings
Colors to the face of earth
As season's birds sings
Summer season is
Warmest of all the seasons
Weaving dreams of bliss
Season of summer
Fills heart and soul with laughter
Like blooming flower
Summer brings shimmer
By benevolence of nature
In beams of glimmer
Summer's arrival
Signals fun and festivals
And soul's revival
Summer is warmer
Shining brighter is the sun
Solace is water
Summer's diverse sounds
Is the nature's symphony
Without doubt astounds
Summer is the best
To feel the comfort of breeze
Which needs no attest
Summer is the peak
For the soul of sun to shine
And it is unique
Summer is for fun
Soaking in sweat and water
And is never done
Summer holidays
Sprinkles delight everywhere
In so many ways
Summer is the time
To think of spring and autumn
As it is sublime

Lovely summer poem there. I loved the line about soul's revival. I hope that summer will arrive over here before too long. It's very disappointing at the moment.
It's so hot. I understand about having watering issues. We broke down and bought a timer for our hose for when we are not here. I cannot stand to lose plants but I know it happens.
Love the poem Becca. Hope you get that rain.

Great intro to summer, Becca. I know you have been really hot and we have had many days in the nineties and many storms. I guess this is going to be the pattern, seems like last year.

Becca even after all the rain we had this spring it has now turned dry. Gardeners never seem to have the right weather . Happy for you that rain is coming.... Love the summer poem it is a special season.
I hope you get some rain soon, Becca. They are predicting scattered thunderstorms for us here again tonight. Happy Summer to you! :)
I'm glad your plants made it! It has been so hot here in Alabama hasn't it??? I can barely stand to be outdoors!
Love the summer poem.

Becca, I am happy about the rain, too! :D
Great poem Becca. I wish I could give you some of our rain. We have have had storms with hail and tornados. The Missouri river is flooded over many towns here. My garden looks great though with all of the rain! Love your Hibiscus!
Happy Summer to you too - bring it on!!!
deligtful post
Becca: Enjoyed your look at the Summer Solstice. A girl on the radio said it was the longest night of the year. That was really nwrong.
