Summer For Sure

Queen Anne's Lace and goldenrod blossoms are a sure sign that you are in the middle of summer. It reminds me of the lazy days of summer of my childhood when I didn't have a care in the world, and my face and legs were streaked with dirt from roaming around in the woods barefoot all day long. Those days are long gone. Now I wouldn't dare walk in the woods for fear of getting a tick on me! But those memories never fade -- these flowers still bring me back to that innocent connection with the power of Nature, and for that I am always grateful.
