More Flowering Thoughts…
I can be as busy as the bees on clover white and red…

as lazy as poppies only moving in the wind…

as bright and blue as the summer coming and going…

as fragil and firm as the pea that flowers but bears no fruit…

Hi Caddo! Rescued “you” from spam! So glad you enjoyed this one…just something to simply reflect the ‘lazy’ hazy days…

I love the your marriage of words and drawings Diane! “as bright and blue as the summer coming and going…” and the drawing beneath is my favourite of the bunch.

Oh, thank you Diane! I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before… perhaps when I was little.

Hi Diane,
I hope one day you will publish a flora with your drawings for biology lessons in schools etc. These flowers are so beautiful and perfect!

‘I hope one day you will publish a flora with your drawings…’ Well, something like that is in the works (paintings and poetry)! Unfortunately my current (novel) publisher won’t handle it because the color illustrations make it too expensive. So I will probably be self-publishing it in the next couple of months. I have it done except for finishing up the index where I am listing information about all the flowers. Your encouragement in such a project is very much appreciated! XO

Well I encourage you too, Diane…to get a book out of your beautiful flower drawings. I could look at your artwork all day long…just exquisite!

Oh, thank you so much, Gayle! I have had this in mind for sometime and am getting closer to making it happen.

I find myself wanting ALL of these “flowering” personality traits myself this summer, Diane! This may be my new favorite of yours, my dear!

Yes, flowers…nature…animals…can reflect and reveal much about ourselves. I am so glad you enjoyed it, Rose. Thank you so much!

Ah, the moods of summertime… Love the bee in the drawing, and also the line, “as fragile and firm as the pea that flowers but bears no fruit…” How well I understand the pea! Lovely, sweet blue flowers…
