"Tell you what I like the best --
'Long about knee-deep in June,
'Bout the time strawberries melts
On the vine, -- some afternoon
Like to jes' git out and rest,
And not work at nothin' else!"

Absolutely perfect.
You always have the most appropriate words for your blog! Love the poem!
Here, most of Blighty is up to its a*** in rain! It's a good job we're a nation of drinkers! We need something to get through the endless rain. We've also had incredible storms, floods and people have been rescued by the RAF!
That picture exudes serenity, Jo. And you didn't mention it, but June is busting out all over! :-)
I love knee deep in June. You have some of the most inviting settings. They seem to say REST awhile you'll be served shortly.
I wanted to tell you one of the technicians doing my Radation therapy is from Manchester England. I just found this out when she told me she was going home for vacation. I told her it was a shame she missed the 60th celebration of the Queen. She the tech. is probably in her late 50's. A very nice lady.
Yes, the rest is the best!
Happy thoughts can come from that seat !
Perfect for June, and perfect for this time of the year!
I love visiting your blog .

"knee deep in June" How lovely!! I've never heard that before, but I'm sure I will use it soon when I tell my hubby I'm heading for the hammock - the work can wait!!

Jo, Is there anything more perfect than June in Tennessee?! I was outside last night being mesmerized by fireflies and trying my best to take a video of them, but to no avail. One must experience it in person. The photo is so lovely, so June.
Jo, I am loving your summery photos. Riley's poem is just right for this time. :):) Smiles, Susie
What a beautiful welcome for a new visitor to happen upon.
Thank you so much for sharing...
Irritatingly we haven't quite got to this in England yet apart from two wonderful weeks in May when the sun shone continuously. My flowers are trying so hard and they will win against the strong winds and rain. They will, they will, they will!
See my Blog. I have news.
ps can I copy your picture of the signpost from England to Tennessee for my new Blog?
You are truly gifted.
The artful way you have of arranging your photographs...
The words & music that you select to put with them...
All go together in a seamless blend of perfection.
Thank you for taking the time to do all of this and share it with others.
Your blog is such a bright spot in my day.
Blessings to You and Yours.
In Him,
Grace
Beautiful & inviting.....I think I'll try that - "gittin' out and restin').
BTW, I made & shared the 7-Up Cake at our Ladies' Bible study yesterday morning. I had to come home and make 3 copies of the recipe. Sooooooo good!
Красиво и очень уютно! Хочется попасть в такое место.
So beautiful....
And we love strawberry's on the vine too!

I do hope that my 18 inch rose of sharon grow to be as beautiful as your. I always, too, enjoy your poetry. Such lovely flowers in your garden, putting on quite a show, aren't they?
I was going to comment on your teddy bear friend- but blogger says it does not exist?
