Indigo Buntings in brilliant blue feathers

As I wander on a Summer morning I hear the wind sing along...

Curtains of Sunlight in ribbons of lavender and blue   

bring thoughts of awakening to a new adventure... 

Wild flowers dance over Meadows where Cowslips grew... 

I can imagine the Swans on the Lake preening their feathers... 

Butterflies are drawn to Violets in the early morning dew... 

Woodpeckers  are knocking on trees as the breeze sings 

a Gospel song sweet and low... I will follow you 

wherever you may go... over Valley's and Hills 

Til Heaven becomes a Stream of Lullabies...

Good morning Pat,
The zillions little birds that grace our very large gardens, woke me up along with the roosters this morning...And, the birds are still going strong as I sit here in our office/art room to work on our computer.
We have so many beautiful flowers blooming.. Just planted 27 lavender plants last week...well, not me..the gardener...oh yes and we planted a lime tree..We now have 5 orange trees and various types, 2 avocado trees and an amazing old lemon tree... Almost forgot a that we also have two fig trees a dark one and a light one..Plus of course the new lime tree...
I am in paradise....
I love these special lines of yours...

Good morning Lisa… I have planted a Fig tree… we shall see. I remember eating fresh Figs from a tree about thirty years ago.. so delicious. This Spring I have been eating a lot of Naval 🍊 Oranges and Roger eats a lot of 🍋 Lemons. Most Citrous fruit may come from Florida. Aging brings a Lust for Fruits.. even Mangoes. My mind dreams of Tangoes… sensual thoughts never die… they just become more frisky. Yesterday Roger’s niece Jennifer and her two grown children Olivia and Ryan spent Sunday with us… we visited Chatham Gardens with flowers and Garden Statues and a lovely Mansion from the 1800’s. It was a Perfect warm sunny day. There was a small Vineyard with gorgeous Grapes maturing on many Vines. We had dinner at Cracker Barrel. The young people are so fresh and Beautiful and somehow Roger and myself were comfortable like Wisteria trees in the Wind with a Fragrance of yesterday. Your Review has started my day with Sunshine at almost Seven am in Fredericksburg, Virginia by the Rappahannock River. softly, with ❤️ love, Pat

Just a quick hello about your fig tree
You probably already know this
But you must have two a male and a female to produce fruit💕💕

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Lisa… I did not know that… perhaps that is why Adam wore a Fig Leaf because he was Shy. Now I will be searching for genders of Fig plants… my very astute Friend. Lovely to share Garden Lore. softly, Pat

[Akinlolu]

Believe me, I followed you on this journey of yours. I saw everything that you saw and heard all the songs. Breathed the enchanting air. And what a journey! Beautiful word painting there. Thanks for the delightful journey.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Akinlolu… I appreciate your Review… Butterflies have eyes that see our World in turmoil… they pollinate with nectar that resonates Goodwill and understanding. softly, Pat

I got curious when I saw Elvis's photo. So many great memories of mine were reminded to me by reading your lovely poem dear Pat. Thank you for sharing it.
Have a nice day.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Nima.Hope… Elvis and his daughter are now our Angels to guide our way on Love’s Journey. gently, Pat

[Nima.Hope]

Yes, what a sad story, especially for Elvis's ex-wife,to see the death of Elvis and Lisa.....
Good day ma'am

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Nima… I agree Priscilla suffered immensely for many Reasons… my 💜 Heart is hurting for her. Softly, Pat

Another explosion of colour from your pen Pat, brightening our Monday mornings, eager to see if our view is similar this bright and beautiful morn... It is by the way.
Those pesky clouds tried to spoil the beginning of morning, but have evaporated into a bright sun filled morning, with temperatures rising, with added hints of optimism and hope. 😊

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Lorry… you are my Morning Glory… we have had warm Spring and Summer days that caress our 💜 Heart with Visions of Violets that color our days with a Radiance that defies all Evil thereof. tenderly, Pat

I hear those woodpeckers around her a lot...such a cool drilling...and the more blue the better.
Beautiful snippet of nature here.

dear Jacob… thank you for a very charming review… love the phrase “snippet of nature”… it takes me back to hiking up
Sugar Loaf Mountain in Maryland and many other adventures in my youth. gently, Pat

When the world seems tilted on its axis and everything is shifted sideways, your words set everything aright. The burst of colors in your words is such a reflection of your beautiful soul. You shine bright for the world to see. I love the picture that you chose to go with the poem. So lovely!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Linda… lovely to know you felt the photo was a touching moment of the sadness we felt to lose Elvis and his daughter Lisa to be taken by circumstances. We had so much Love for both of them, tenderly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat, a delightful write. Ribbons of lavender and blue. Speaks to me of summer. Blue skies and walking the seams of lavender growing in farm fields heavily scented and buzzing with bees. You bring in those majestic of creatures, the swans on a calm lake who pair for life. Violet and lavender, my favourite shades of all that is tinged with purple. There is so much to enjoy in these fragrant lines. Have a wonderful Sunday dear friend.

Chris

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Chris... the Swans are assurance that Life can be Peaceful if we take time to watch the outcome of quiet meditation where prayers become wishes for kindness and sharing words of understanding. Thank you for a lovely review that leaves a scent of Lavender Love. softly, Pat

[Cherrie]

Everything I adore about God's creation rests within this poem

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Cherry..." It's a small World" is a favorite song... I just revised the photo with my poem... I feel that it is fitting to remember Elvis and his daughter as though they are surely Angels. Your review has touched my Heart.. softly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Folks... Nature is our saving Grace as we wander far and near...
in a Sphere of Hope gone awry... Amen... the Author, Pat
