“There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever.”— Elizabeth Lawrence
If I had to pick a favorite season….I think I might struggle a bit…the early spring days lift me up after the thin winter sun, which painted long blue shadows void of warmth and color. Spring lifts me up like the greening of the trees color the brown drab landscape.
Then summer with all it’s heat, which sits heavy and still, on the land, and swarms of chores—which seem never ending.
After which comes fall with the crisp, clear days and immense bursts of color; bring the world into life, in a way none of the other seasons can.
But if I am forced to pick…I would pick SUMMER!
For beats with a song only the humming of the stars in the heavens, (and in my heart, my mind, and my soul), can understand.
From my heart to your world,
Linda

I was bragging on your hummingbirds to the man who guided our bird walk yesterday. He and I were the only experienced birders there and he was explaining how the only hummers likely here are the Ruby Throated.

Yes! I wish we had some of those here, but as far as I understand the Ruby Throated never cross into or over the Rocky Mountains!

I’m glad I don’t have to pick a favorite season. And although you may have a favorite, you describe each season beautifully in both words and pictures.

I would pick summer too but I don’t think many would. I knew we were a lot alike.

My favorite season was Spring when I was living in the South. Summer’s were just too miserably hot and humid. Now that I live in Michigan, my favorite is Summer. We don’t get much of a Spring and it doesn’t really come until mid-May.

Such a lovely post; that waving pinkish grass is beautiful. I’m a summer-time girl, but love Autumn and Spring too (actually i wouldn’t mind more Spring in my life) … you may notice one season left out ;>)
