Al Fresco

Hello Darlings,

The best thing about summer is the warm weather that beckons us outdoors to spend time al fresco...

There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.

~ Celia Thaxter

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer...

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light.

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Love is to the heart what the summer is to farmer's year ~ it brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul.

~ Author Unknown

A life without love is like a year without summer.

Swedish Proverb

"Always remember the beauty of the Garden,

for there is peace."

~ Author Unknown

"The serene philosophy of the pink rose is

steadying.  Its fragrant, delicate petals

open fully and are ready to fall, without

regret or disillusion, after only a day in the

sun.  It is so every summer.

One can almost hear the pink, fragrant murmur

as they settle down upon the grass:

'Summer, summer, it will always be summer."

~Rachael Peden

I hope you are enjoying the warmest

period of the year al fresco!

With lots of love,

I'm joining...
