It's been soooooo hot and humid here lately there have been moments when it felt like melting was a strong possibility.
At those times, jumping into the public fountain, shown above, sounded like a doggone good idea.
It is very clear to me I am not a hot weather girl at all. As stated before on this blog, even face-freezing weather appeals to me.
Don't get me wrong. This is not a complaint post.
There are parts of summer I really love. For instance, flowers make my heart flutter.
Is that how it is with you, too?
Every year, there's a spot in one New England town filled with a lovely display of petunias in shades of pink and purple.
My car automatically slows down when driving by because I like to look at such loveliness.
Just passed by them tonight! Sumptuous!
Now today, Saturday, I have a wish for you. It's that today something will make you smile.
That will be your sunflower moment! Isn't that a nice thought?

What a lovely post. I do love flowers in the summer and all the beautiful colors. Unfortunately we don't get many sunny days/year over here, but I am happy anyways. Happy to be in good health.
Have a lovely day

mmm what is the one thing about summer that i love??
Answer: IT ..SUMMERTIME you know to me I think of it as just the way God made us. In the midst of winter's cold we long for spring then as we settle into the changes that spring brings I look forward to seasonal changes that come with summer..yes even in the deep south [Alabama] and of course as summertime begins to drag on there is nothing like the daydreaming [un]realities of Fall that is soon to be but again as we are face to face with Thanksgiving [gatherings, food, football games, Christmastime, decorating] we can't resist whispering a little prayer for a little real wintry [unseasonable here] weather. On any one of those surprise snow days it's no a surprise to find me in minimal clothing padding around in the snow covered yard and deck. Just the way God arranged my DNA.
Were we talking about summertime? oops I digress. lol

I too love all the flowers but I also love being able to spend time with friends by the pool. Relax, cookout and just enjoy time with them outside. I'm not a fan of all the heat but that's what air conditioning is for! hugs, Linda
Like you, I love the flowers. I also love the longer days, cool mornings, and sunsets in the evening.
One thing about summer? That is very easy ...Staying home and not working...HA!
Oh such lovely flowers and that fountain is beautiful.
Did you ever watch Murder She Wrote - it was supposed to be filmed in New England somewhere - Maine I believe - how far are you from Maine? I love your sunflowers. sandie
Lovely flowers, Susan! Love them, but the main thing I like about Summer is going to the beach! Hubby and I wait all winter for it. New England and the Island are much the same. Lots of beach and lobster! Thanks for visiting and I hope you're having a delightful weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi
Enjoyed the lovely pictures from the cool of home this afternoon! So very hot here today, tomorrow is to be worse. WE made a tiny road trip this morning but were back shorlty before noon. HOT.
What do I love about summer? Well, fresh tomatoes and fresh corn from our garden - but I think we could have that without such sweltering heat! In fact, the corn would probably do a little better if the weather were a bit cooler. The lettuce would last longer, too.

That water fountain does look very tempting. I think just sitting next to it would feel great. We don't have much flowering this time of year, though I just took photos of 6 pots of my moss roses with their pretty pink blooms. It's a good thing I don't mind being at home because it's too hot for much else. Wishing you a great day. Tammy
