Day 18 - Time to Dream

Isn't that what summer is all about?
Taking time to dream
and be totally immersed in the moment.

New flowers to plant in two of my window-boxes
I bought them down the market today
and just love their fresh colours.

  2. This reminds me of a little boy that I once had in my summer daycare group. He was around nine years old. I had the children sitting in a circle and I would ask a question and then we would go around the circle and if a child wanted to answer the question we would all listen. The question was, "Where is your favorite place to visit" . . . most of the children had answers like Disneyland, the county fair, grandma's house, but when it was his turn he said, "in my imagination" . . . WOW, right? It stayed with me, because at that moment I realized that that was my favorite place, too. It took a very wise nine year old to point it out to me :)
    Beautiful post.
    Connie :)

    1. Thank you, Connie, and what an endearing story of that little boy telling you his favourite place to visit was "in his imagination". I love the way young children are so in touch with themselves. We can learn a lot from them! Thank you for sharing your story!

    1. Thank you, Carol. My window boxes have been planted since May. I shall be sharing the individual flowers more than the boxes themselves as the background is another building! I am sorting through them now!
