Hello Summer . . .

Summer officially arrived yesterday at 10:57 am

I headed out early in the morning to do some shopping and drop off/pick up library books.

Along the way I stopped to "look at flowers" :-) and was thrilled to find 2 pots of hollyhocks 

which were planted in the garden as soon as I arrived home. 

Just like #the 100 day project where I painted 100 index cards,

this month I'm participating in the #tiny summer poem challenge.

Each day there is a word prompt where

you write a poem for a maximum of 10 minutes, no editing.

I do this first thing in the morning and decided that I'd write each poem with the letters of the word prompt and paint a picture in my art journal.

Looking out at our garden as I put pen to paper, the first thing I noticed was the beautiful glistening dew on the blades of grass which began the poem . . . .

Glistening dew drops, a new Season begins just like that

Let us celebrate the longest day of the year

Abundance and joy as we raise a glass to

Impression

Isn't it amazing, each quiet hushed

moment in nature, the unwavering landscape of

peaceful existance

resting, observing, healing

energy exchanged

symbolic gestures of gratitude

sun salutations and taking deep breaths

in through the nose

out through the mouth

Roses

Ruffles twirling around

Opening at their will

Showing their own uniqueness

Each petal a world of its own
