Signs of Summer

Though Summer doesn’t officially arrive for another ten days or so, the signs of it’s arrival are all around us.  The day lilies are blooming in flower beds, and along the roadsides. 

The Blueberries are beginning to ripen, which in turn calls for pancakes for breakfast, and blueberry pound cake with vanilla ice cream for a late evening snack.

It’s fascinating to see how much they plump up as they ripen.  The fully ripe ones are the size of a dime.

And then, there’s the road side vendors along the way.  I admit I didn’t take this picture.  Borrowed it from a friend who posted it on Facebook.  It’s one of the best examples of “Summer in the South” you’ll find anywhere.

Deep south

Hope you can read it.  It’s perfectly clear to me…..jc

  3. How I envy the berries, and matters and tatters too. Barely feeling like winter's letting go at the North Rim.
