For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
As I walked about today,
‘Midst the sunshine’s warming ray,
Right down there, on forest floor,
A bit of green, then some more.
So nice to see, this bright green,
First of spring, that I have seen.
This new growth, so fresh and pure,
Gives such hope, to all, for sure.
It is so nice, when I see,
Spring’s new life, in front of me.
Soon more will come, and abound,
Giving joy, to all around.

We went right into summer…
The heat is gonna be a bummer …
the fires it brings
And things that sting 🐝
But summer is still my fave
I love the ocean and to ride that wave 😄😘
Summer nights are truly the best…
possibly better than all the rest? Lol
Summer – that’s my season 😀❤️
We did jump right into summer lol – we are hot and tomorrow starting at 11am.. we have fire watch ALREADY!!! Here we go 😳 (getting way too old for this lol)

Hey, great poem Trisha!😃 Yes, I love summer best too, it’s just so short up here, but sooooo beautiful!🌞😎🌲🌼🌳 Wow, fire watch, that seems early.🔥 We’re doing okay up here so far, supposed to get rain and snow overnight!😳 Hard to believe there is still snow in the forecast,🙄 this is May! But yes, we do get snow in May, and sometimes in June too.😬 Terrible thought really! Getting too old?😲 Can’t be, you’re not even 50 yet,😁 you’re not old until you turn 65. At least that’s what I keep saying, maybe it should be 75 instead!🤔😂😹😃🌞

Our summer is awesome too – except with the wind … because heat, dry Tinder and wind does not work well together 🤨🤷♀️
It’s currently dry, hot and very very windy!! 🤨 fire watch just started half hour ago.
You should definitely send the rain – you can keep the snow lol ✌️😘
Almost there lol … but true that is not old – only life makes me feel that way lol
But actually since I work with death – that is not old… I would say maybe 80+ then I can freely say that lol ✌️😘
But ya know who knows what’s gonna happen… I’ve had cancer and things … so never leave anything unsaid right? 😄😘✌️
I’m just covering my bases lol 😄✌️😘 #notmissingout lol

I would prefer to keep the rain and send the snow!😂 It smells so fresh with the rain right now,😃 but it is cooling off fast this evening.😬 Well, as the saying goes, you’re only feeling as old as you are. No wait, that’s not it.🤔 You feel older than you are. Nope, not it either.🤔😳 You always feel older than you look. No, that’s not it.🤔😬 Well, it’s a saying anyway, you probably know it.😁 Who makes up these sayings anyway?😒 Just to make guys like me look stupid, that’s what it’s all about.😳🙄 Oh well. I’ll probably remember it later.🙄 80+, I like that better than mine, I’ll go with that one too.😁😺

Temps in the 80s would be so nice,🌞🌴😎 we don’t usually get that until late June or July.😕 But it should still be warmer than it is now.😬 We might get up to 50 today,🙄 but somehow I doubt it with that north wind blowing still.😳 You don’t need AC yet, that’s just nice warm temps,😛 enjoy!😁🤸♂️ Wow, drying up already, that’s not good.😲 Very wet here right now.

Hey, all heat is hot heat.😎🌴 You just get a lot more of it than we do, a lot more.🙄😳 We sometimes get summers where a hot day is 75F!😬 But we can also get summers where it hits 100F, and we can have weeks of temps between 90 and 100.😃😸🌞 We haven’t had that for several years now though.😳🙄 Just like our winters getting longer and colder, our summers are getting shorter and colder. Sigh.🙄 I live in the wrong climate. A nice tropical island is for me!😂😹🌴I live right in the middle of the country basically, but a bit more west, then north. North of Minnesota.🙂
Right now I would be happy with even a week of your heat.🙄 It was snowing here this morning!!!🥶❄❄ Snowing!!!❄❄ On May 6th!😲😲 Think I will hibernate a bit longer.😂😹

There is a difference between east coast heat and west coast heat …
Ours is hot dry heat
Theirs is wet heat (they have humidity we don’t really)
We having really LONG fire seasons lately – lot of drought

Yes, that’s true, dry heat is better, humid heat can be hard. Here we mostly have a drier type heat, which is odd considering all the water we have with lakes everywhere, rivers too. 🏞🌞
Our fire season is usually from the end of May to the end of September,🌲🔥🌳 though officially it starts and ends earlier and later.
Thanks Trisha!😀😺🌞
