SHADOWS ON THE WALL


my new friend and fellow blogger 
posed the question of 
"your favorite summertime memory"

gosh I love you guys...you are such an inspiration to my 
little world

as I am obviously intoxicated on this "end of summer kind of day"
I ask Mr. PV..to fetch my camera
with the magic word of course!

PLEASE????

I have already missed the precious toad
that was resting here just moments ago
If I were a toad, ant or rolypoly,
this would be my chosen paradise

as the summer comes to an end
I can't help but be drawn in by the setting of the sun
earlier and earlier each day
and the shadows that linger here

*melancholy*
soon the umbrellas will be put away
tarragon you have served us well

adios

shadows on the wall


are you lavender ?
salvia?

or Texas Bluebonnets?

are you iron or copper?

are you Betty or Perrilyn?

whatever you are ....you will be back

yes...the mermaids will dive deep into the abyss

and we will patiently wait

for you and your brood to return

to our lovely branches

we will prepare

and hunker down

through the winter cold....


but....
wait.....
we aren't quite to the end just yet....

Hello Indian Summer

Oh my, Gina. You're making me sad to think that summer is over even in Texas. We Canadians are basking in 90 degree weather right now and autumn seems a long way away. But it's just around the corner sadly. Enjoy these last few weeks of warmth and sunshine. I know I plan to.

Hi Gina, Great photo at the top! You look like you are in full relaxation mode and very happy:) I agree, if I were a toad I'd find this to be paradise! Gorgeous photos!

Well, I agree... A rolypoly, toad or ant would be so lucky to live among your beauty. I love the poetry of the garden that shadow dances against your back drop of beauty.

Thank you dear friend for making another close visit to my place that inspires a simple relaxed wrinkled and frayed linen shade. Your visit truly joy my heart.
Love your pool, I am on my way over for a dip with Mr. Frog toad.

Dear Gina,

So glad to see you enjoying the pool! As I am a longtime reader of Pura Vida, I remember the construction of your pool. Seems like so long ago, right? Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Cheers,
Loi

PS - All favorite plants of mine...the colors of purple, lavender and blue!

Gina I can't figure it out either Lavender -Salvia and bluebonnets I don't know how many I killed this summer with over watering. What ever it is they grow beautiful in your garden.
