The Sweetness of Summer

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Hawaiian Ice at the county fair.




Bouquets made of sweet-smelling clover.


Lazy afternoons pedaling around in the cozy coupe.


These are truly some examples of the freshness of childhood and the sweetness of summer!

Hi Valerie--
Oh! to be that age again.
They look like they are having
a great time! Was this the Johnson
County Fair?

If you get a chance, stop by my Blog and say hi. I just put up a post from the San Francisco Gift Show where my Pillows were featured.
Have a great day,
