Happy July, to one and all...

{'Old Rose'}

Happy July!
May it be filled with fireflies & ice cream cones
& flag waving parades & purple twilights & fireworks & steamy afternoons & front porch swings & the high hummmmm of summer afternoon "heat" bugs & lying in the grass & fashioning pictures from the clouds & quick thunder storms which clear the air & the sound of ice clinking in tall, frosty glasses & old fashioned hand-held fans & Sunday evening band concerts in the park & picnics & 'the old swimming hole' & holding a Butter Cup under your chin to see if "you like butter" & after dark ghost stories on a neighbor's porch & running home, kind-of-fun-scared, after listening to them & straw hats & Strawberry Shortcake & butter-slathered corn-on-the-cob picked only hours ago and rushed to a road side stand & the laughter of children running through a sprinkler & Peach Cobbler & spider webs with early morning dew on them & picking tomatoes in your own garden & star-filled night skies & whatever else says "Summer," to you...

See the Tomato Blossom?

Here it is, cropped closer. {Per usual, you can click on any photo, to enlarge} Seeeee... we will have at least one home grown Tomato this year. >,-))) One anyway. ~~~~~~ Nope, not enough to pull out the frying pan yet, for BLT's. >,-))) But... there is hope! :-)))

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, the pool. Before anyone went into it! Ahhh beauty. Ahhh joy.
~~~~~~ Since I can't swim, and therefore don't use it, I *wish* no one would go into it. Let it stay in pristine beauty, all summer long. ~~~~~~ *Somehow,* no one agrees with me. >,-)))

Especially, after a morning of Baseball Camp...

Happy, happy month of July, to you and to all.............
