Summer in Bloom
I have never been a Summer person but this year I resolved that, staring this Summer forward, I will embrace each season for it's unique beauty.
And that means taking notice of things!
I took a stroll down the lane today. There is nothing better than feeling the sun at your back with a soft breeze caressing your face. So much color and vibrancy. A bumble bee buzzing happily somewhere nearby. The sweet smell of freshly-mowed grass. The echoing of a child's laughter in the near-distance. And everything so...alive!
There are so many beautiful quotes about summer flowers! Here are a few:
"Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you." – Walt Whitman.
"Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair." – Susan Polis Schutz.
"Love is the flower you've got to let grow." – John Lennon.
"Let us live like flowers, wild and beautiful and drenched in sun." ― Ellen Everett.
"Where flowers bloom so does hope." — Lady Bird Johnson.
"Every flower blooms in its own time." ― Ken Petti.
These quotes (and those resilient flowers that fade away each Fall and resurrect themselves again come Spring) remind us to embrace the beauty and joy of summer flowers, and to live our lives with hope and wonder.
