Summer Drench

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Oh, the summer night
Has a smile of light
And she sits
on a sapphire throne.
Barry Cornwall




Our sun-drenched hours
O golden stream,
These are the days
We joyfully dream.
Like ruby wine
Our hours flow,
Each shared moment
Gently glows.
             Cloudia Charters



Did you know that
there are over 300
words for ‘love’
in canine?
  Gabrielle Zevin 





There shall be eternal summer
in the grateful heart.
Celia Thaxter




Thank You
For sunshine warm,
For gentle breeze,
For blooming flowers
On the trees.

For patience held
For anger quelled,
For lessons learned
For giants felled.

For life unfolds
In every part,
And gratitude
Fills up the heart.
Thank You
                       Pixie

they are famous for missing the point.

Hello,
Your poem is lovely. Pretty photos, the plants and flowers are gorgeous.
Cute doggie and your Pixie is always a favorite.
Take care, have a great day!

I was just thinking of dog language and where it intercedes with people's. Since there are trainings where certain words are used to get the dogs to do things like; come, sit, stay, lie down, and roll over (I never went any further with any dogs in my life)...I imaginatively thought that maybe dogs don't hear consonents just vowels. Come becomes "O:, sit is "i", and so on. It's just a thought from my fevered brain.

And I think I wanted to say languages intersect, not intercede.

Pixie, you are such a wise cat. We have had so much rain, and so many dark, dreary, rainy days this year. We truly are enjoying some days of sunshine. The sun automatically lift our mood.
