Dear Spring,

What are you thinking?
Do you think just because my lilacs are blooming,

birds are returning to the feeders,

and bumble bees are swarming

you can just pass us by without even a backward glance?

We are anxiously awaiting your arrival next week;
 however, it seems Summer has out run you this year.

I truly don't mean to be unkind, but
we all know Summer doesn't play well with others.
She delivers high temperatures turning your beautiful work of art

into an ugly mess

 and she just does not know when to leave.  Seriously... she is not all
waterplay and suntans.  Think about it!

If you truly decide to stay away, there is nothing more I have to say.
Except... I will have to think twice before I bring

more treats home to you.

You are really making me sad.

Not So Fondly Yours,
An Extremely Frustrated Southern Gardener

Give me a minute.....I'm sure I will find a blessing in these early summer temperatures.
Well,  I may need two.
