For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Mama deer with young today,
Watching them run, jump and play.
Seeing eagles soar up high,
Summer pleasures, far and nigh.
Ducklings swimming in a bunch,
Tiny birds, looking for lunch.
Under pines, so great and tall,
Summer pleasures for us all.
Chipmunks climbing over me,
Squirrels that sit upon my knee.
Blue jays looking, oh, so fine,
Summer pleasures, yours and mine.
Lying down on summer grass,
And watching clouds as they pass.
While we feel that warmest sun,
Summer pleasures, so much fun.
Sitting by a calm, clear lake,
As the morning does awake.
The rising sun, glows so bright,
Summer pleasures, what a sight!

Thanks Mr. Ohh! Sorry to hear that, but glad you came back! Last WP person just told me it can’t happen unless I kick someone off. I said I don’t do that, and don’t even know how anyway. It’s very frustrating. A couple others were dropped this week too. I just don’t know what to do.π

Yes, stress is a normal reaction with Covid, even if a person doesn’t get it.
I have been going through a rough period the past couple of weeks, but it will change soon I’m sure. It’s really hard to stay focused on things. But it comes and goes, eventually it will go and stay away, I hope.
Have a great Monday!ππΊπ

Officially fall starts on that date here too, but Sept 1 is the usually accepted date for us, though fall weather often starts mid August. We have had winter start as early as Oct 8, that’s not far away!π³π³
