 as i came across this image today i found myself longing for those long lazy days of summer.  as it has been forever raining in seattle, i will just have to hold my breath. did i mention that we are still waiting for spring to arrive between the various hail showers?

i can smell the roses...

this image reminded me of spring and the long days of summer to come.
