" The afternoon
of summer folds
Its warm arms
round the marigolds, "
James Whitcomb Riley,
A Fruit Piece
" Yet come I
as I came of old,
From out the heart
of Summer's joy. "
William Morris,
Pomona
" Your beauty is your life and my content,
And I will liken you to an apple-tree,
Mary and Margaret playing under the branches,
And everywhere soft shadows like your eyes,
And scattered blossom like your little smiles. "
William Kerr,
The Apple Tree

" Life
has it's own
Hidden Forces
which you can
only discover
by living. "
Kierkegaard

In Summer,
little happens.
Right?
WRONG!
Official business,
education,
government,
& media
can all relax.
Perhaps
that is why
Summer is the
Greatest Times
of Your Life!
Dare to wonder
if perhaps
the "lazy days"
are the
Human Days.
Human Days.
Try a cure
of daffodils,
of quiet breezes
(when's the last time
you HEARD
a breeze?)
A cure of
solitude,
away from the e-world,
away from the phone.
Be at the ballpark.
Eat some happy junk food.
Be entranced by
carnival lights
in the dark.
Smell the French Fries.
Be entranced by
carnival lights
in the dark.
Smell the French Fries.
Waste some time,
my Friend.
Do it TODAY!
Summer Afternoons
meld into Summer Nights.
And isn't that
W O N D E R F U L !
Fondly, Cloudia
