Every season
has a day for dreaming,
a day that fills
your head and heart
with endless
possibilities...
...and in spring time
it is a day where
you see the first patch of green
that is coming alive
after a soft rainfall...
...a day that makes you
want to hang a sign
on your front door,
telling the world
that you have
"Gone Fishing".
Sometimes
a gentle breeze appears
and brings glory
to the front porch...
...or the sun shines
in just the right spot
to remind us that
wishes do
come true.
You might start a day
such as this
with a glass of sunshine,
itself...
...before you take a trip
down a country lane...
...to where
the Farmer's Market
has just opened up...
...and, returning home,
where the aroma of roasting vegetables
will mingle with
the soft scent of
sweet peas...
...along with
other bright colors
that can lift the spirits
and brighten the corners.
There might be the sound
of bird song
that makes you look up
and take notice
of the blue sky...
...or you might prefer
sitting quietly,
savoring
a cup of tea,...
...while looking at an image
from today
that brings back
memories of...
...a past yesterday
in a similar
time and place.
FYI: The two pictures above are of mother and son, Tami and Jake, taken in the same driveway, loading up the same wheelbarrow (different dirt!) over 35 years apart.
A day for dreaming
is a day to
follow your heart...
...whether it takes you down
a special path
or..
...on
flights of fancy...
...and at the end of that day,
as the song says...
Dream On!
...Judy...

How beautiful your images and words are, Judy. You paint a word picture of home at a moment in time.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures of mother and son - too funny that it's the same wheelbarrow!
Your photos are so beautiful and warming to the heart and soul. Lovely post. I hope to enjoy some sweetpeas in July....a long ways away! The grass is just starting to green a bit here. Have a lovely day Judy.

I enjoyed your "day dreaming" post today, even if I am a little late visiting.
ReplyDeleteThe old wheelbarrow looks like one that my Dad had. It brings back lots of memories.
Your flower pictures are lovely. I'll be so glad when mine start blooming in my garden.
When I went out on my deck this morning, I heard a familiar bird sound.........my little wrens have come back for the summer. I love those little birds.
We're having a cloudy, kind of damp day today. A good day for day dreaming.
Have a lovely weekend.

sigh!!!

Love seeing all these pics-makes me even more anxious for spring than I am. Here in Colorado, we never know what our weather will be-one day it is in the 70's and then next we have rain and maybe snow.
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening.

Gorgeous photos. Such a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Awesome photos of spring day! Pleased to see all these brilliant shots. We didn’t celebrated spring season but are going to visit LA in coming summer vacations. Would like to celebrate my 18th birthday at party venues in Los Angeles. Very excited for the trip!
