I enjoyed the poem and your pictures are so pretty!
I have been wondering just how much fun you and Callie are having this weekend. Does she play and play until she can't hold her eyes open any longer?

Yes, she plays hard and eats lots and takes many "cat naps." She provides lots of smiles!

I love the way that Queen Anne's Lace lines the roadways in July. It's starting to fade now. Your photographs may be my last glimpse.

Beautiful- graceful and elegant and captured with just the right light. Blessings Susan...

Dreamy post. Thanks for the link to the poet reading his poem. I'm always learning something new by being introduced to American literature.

Queen Anne's Lace in the wild is not better place for it and so lovely sitting there.

Thank you for that link - I always love to hear a poet reading his poetry (and you know I love Williams' poetry) - yet it's interesting to me, how both Williams and Cummings sound so almost strange, reading their works. Compared to Seamus Heaney, or David Whyte, for instance.

(And Queen Anne's Lace is another of those nostalgic memories from my childhood...)
