summer pink

yeah today is the first day of summer

i miss the seasons

we live in perpetual summer
everyday is about the same
sigh...

i went out in the garden today to find 

the most 'summery flower'

i could find.

zinnias are not typically an island flower

someone, somewhere brought over the seeds

and now we are graced with their 

tall elegant beauty in shades of 

pink

yellow

orange

purple

i enjoy them

for those of you who have 4 seasons

i want to extent a hearty

happy first day of summer

to you

may it be full of all the things

that make summer special:

fresh corn on the cob,

bbq's

fun in the sprinkler

potato salad

farmer's markets

fresh mowed grass

fresh berries

 long nights

and sun shine on your shoulders.
