thoughtful thursday

summer is newly arrived.  the beginning of the season is when summer is at its best. if there has been enough spring rain, all the vegetation is lush; vibrant in various hues of deep green.  the flowers are vivid and perky.  the wee offspring of the animals that inhabit the land are beginning to emerge from nests.  they are so cute in their awkwardness in learning how to navigate the environment.  butterflies, lightning bugs, seasonal birds, lady bugs. frogs and insects making music.  most days are still comfortable as there isn't yet unrelenting heat and/or humidity, making it possible to enjoy being outdoors.  early summer is fresh and new yet with a fullness not present during spring.  welcome, summer!
