Summer: On Schedule, Stand By...

 

It feels like an entire season has come and gone since

 I last posted. My beloved Spring, gleaming with hope and

 light and glory, finally did arrive, in all its budding beauty.

Suddenly, city streets sprouting pretty, pastel petals  

made once barren pathways to work happily bearable!

I recall the almond blossoms,

scattered across the Cretan countryside, 

fragrant confetti, dotting the meadows

with scented cheer, and I long for the day

to wander amid such a paradise, again.

 Until then, Summer is scheduled to arrive on time, 

here in southern Ontario, tomorrow, Monday, June 20, 

2016. As such, Spring has ensured that its successor

 be made to feel welcome, and thus, has already 

seen to hot, smouldering, temps  -  a show of

utmost warmth and hospitality, wouldn't you say?

 “For behold, the winter is past; 

the rain is over and gone. 

The flowers appear on the earth, 

the time of singing has come, 

 ...Song of Solomon 2:11-12

Wishing you all 

a Happy Summer,
