Warm weather is here again. I relish the sight of all that green when I open the blinds each morning. All the birds are loud and busy this time of year. There is a pair of brown thrashers in constant motion. Nesting mockingbirds fly at the cat's head each time she crosses the yard. Big blue jays steal food from her bowl. Sabrina the old cat sleeps oblivious to the racket and uncaring about the feathered frenzy.

Meanwhile, my "Social Climber" pink rose that I planted a year ago has tripled in size. In another year it will be in its full glory. Big pink roses bloom. The smell is intoxicating.
A pair of rabbits has declared the yard to be part of their territory. I watch them morning and evening as they nibble on weeds when the yard gets shaggy. They follow each other and frequently circle and jump around. Perhaps little ones will make an appearance soon? All of them can stay. They don't eat the roses or my selection of potted plants.

Rain cools the temperatures, and the hydrangea bush is full of blooms. I want to take a nap. I decide to paint those blue blooms to catch the spirit of summer.
