I was going to let the photograph stand alone as a Wordless Wednesday entry, but then decided to write a few lines since I haven’t posted in more than a week. I’ve been tied to the garden for the last week…high heat in NJ means more watering, weeds are growing faster than I can pull them, flowers are beautiful and ready to press, and that doesn’t even begin to cover the mess I’ve made in the house. The bottom line: doesn’t matter a bit cause I LOVE SUMMER!!! I guess I am still a kid at heart.

The little swallow in the photo was captured by my camera in Fortescue, New Jersey. We often fish there and when the weather is cooler I bicycle around the town. I thought the little bird seemed to pose for me and the whole look of it seemed quaint and sweet. I hope you are enjoying summer too. Stay cool and well!
