Summertime…. and the livin’ is easy

For Meg, who finds pansies cranky!

For Gilly- who loves crafts

And beautiful things

For Viveka- who loves peonies

For Debbie- who travels

For Cathy- who wants to come home

For Pomme, who’s a Pal

For Poppy- because she is!

And for Sonel- because she isn’t!

For Sherri- because she’s an English rose

And for Madhu- who isn’t

For Ann- who’s a long way away

And for Lynne- who shines brightly

And Sylvia, in paradise

For the Sues- who’re young at heart

And for Viv- who’s a sweet pea

And Jude- because what’s more beautiful than a rose?

And for Paula- who’s sometimes special

My gallery this morning is to say a big thank you to all of you who keep appearing in my Comments, whether it rains or shines. And also to apologise to the many others who sit patiently in my Inbox, awaiting a turn. Blame it on the Summer or Wimbledon, I’m not sure which, but I just can’t manage to keep up at the minute.  Hoping normal service will be resumed at close of play.

As I walked through the park this morning it struck me that flowers are, for me, so often a symbol of friendship, and so I’m adding this post to the Weekly Photo Challenge.  Why not?

In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend, and I’ll see you on Monday for a walk.  After you visit Cate, to share your six words.
