we'll kick our sheets
to the foot of our beds.
A fan will thrum,
back and forth,
cooling our cheeks like
the chilly wind
that will blow ...
come Fall."
I think it is safe to say that our next season is upon us. The nighttime temperature last night fell to 1 C. That's a bit of a chill for my hanging flower baskets. But, they survived and are now enjoying bright sunshine. Our forecast is calling for four days of rain starting tomorrow. It is that time of year!
This glowing look at the changing seasons shows a brother and sister as they enjoy all of the wonders of the year's seasons, beginning and ending with memories of summer. Lake visits, blueberry picking, corn roasts, and mosquitoes give way to windy days, colorful leaves, warm sweaters and garden produce. So, it goes from one season to the next; each is reflected in the cheerful artwork created by award winning artist Daniel Miyares. The setting is rural, the colors are perfect. The senses are involved in text and art, and the joy of family is evident at every turn of the page. I love that the initial spread is almost identical to the final one ... filled with the joy of being at the lake.
"Come next season . . .
The lake will sparkle.
The leaves will fall from the trees.
We'll play all day in the snow.
We'll visit the farm--and maybe make a friend."
Magical and exciting, this is a real celebration!
