The Weekend Porch Vacation
The weekend porch vacation was moved to the yard. It involved sunbathing and flowers and bees buzzing on the bright heads of dandelions. There was the scent of wild onions in the air. A woodpecker tapped, a phoebe protected her nest, and two yellow finches politely waited for their turn at the birdfeeder. A green and white striped umbrella was used to keep those who attended from burning. Someone was wearing something pink. Someone else dozed off. To be continued …

I can see it all, my dear, and it’s because of your beautifully written words! Spring has really come to Floyd, hasn’t it…Birds and all!

You should see the ones I left out! And this one is cropped for a reason. I took a batch of sunbathing and flower shots and they came out so sensually beautiful. I tried to restrain myself here.

Hi and happy Wednesday – love the vacation post today!
I haven’t checked in with your blog in a while – OOPS– I lost your link, but found it again toda – YAY!
(my new blog switch had something to do with the lostness I’m sure – I can’t remember if I already sent word about the change -I was east-of-oregom (spelled wrong here I know) in my former blog life.
take care,
Shelby

Ah, to be able to doze off in the company of others. Only the innocent can do that, you know?

I am so glad the pink is something that someone was wearing and I imagine it was you. But, did the guy who fell asleep get sunburned anyway? Hope not. Glad the pink wasn’t a bit of sunburn!
