Few Words Wednesday

Summer rushes in.
Home from work later than usual.
Ninety minutes on the phone with Dell, blah blah, blah.
Some chores to do.
Then the rush to see...

"I promise, Gardenias, to relieve you of this horrible drought. I'm falling behind. Forgive me."

"Please resist your urge to burst open until tomorrow? Wait for me? I'm too hot and sweaty right now. I need a cold drink."

"I know you are hungry. Give me a few minutes, lovely Koi. I'm rushing to you and I know it's late."

"You are new, blue you! Do you like it here?"
There are too many new visitors. My head is spinning.

"I saw your male friend but it's getting dark already. Where is he now?"

I think it's going to be an exciting summer
and
I need to step up to the plate and meet the challenge.
The fragrant summer breezes
inspire me. Ahhhhhh...

I'm there too, Mary.
Between the recently arrived hummingbirds, the baby chickadees and the drama between the tree swallows and the purple martins, I don't know where to point my camera!
One thing at a time, dearie.

Never enough hours in the day, are there?
Right now, I am grading term papers, and tomorrow my husband has taken off so we can open our pool. Flower planting? what flower planting.

"Wait for me?" As the beauty here in Ohio is leaning over every lawn and from every woodlot and along every stream and path - my mantra as I race through the day is "Wait for me . . "
So much beauty and so little time.

We can rest during summer's lull. Meanwhile - major sleep deprivation.

We are all feeling the pressures, Mary! Hang in there.

Your hummer picture was FAB! Hope your flowers wait until you are more rested.

After looking at this series of photos, I feel like laying in a hammock in my back yard and skiiping all the yard chores.-very calming effect.

Mary I love your pictures. I wish our flowers were as far along as yours are. I put one day aside this week for flower gardens here in southeastern Pa. and am already enjoying a few new blooms. I am anxiously awaiting the hummingbirds that have already graced your feeder. I found bright red coral bells for my bed this spring and can't wait to see what the hummer's think of them! Just loved that last picture.

Hey Mary...thanks for the visit! It's an Olympus SP550 and I've had it about 2 months. I like it but I have LOTS to learn as I haven't even ventured over to the manual settings. They scare me! *lol*

I LOVE your latest posts! And how awesome are you to make the clay nest peace offering for your barn swallow? You are a truly wonderful person, Mary.

I just hung my hummingbird feeder, but alas, there are few flowers blooming around my yard to entice one to visit. This is what I get for neglecting to plant early spring bloomers...*sigh*

Thanks for your visit and nice comment! Sure I have been enjoyed that bookshelf post!
