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!"
'Bout the time strawberries melts

beautiful porch 😊
I do like that poem. THanks!
Oh sweet Jo, this takes me back to childhood summers. Love it. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Had the best strawberries the other day. Summer and Wimbledon must be on their way.
Everything is looking lovely in your garden and I especially like the Longfellow poem from your last posting, it makes me think of my father scything the long grass in the orchard when I was a child.
I love that line, "knee-deep in June". Now you have a porch I would love to sit on and look out across your beautiful yard.
Jes lolling on you beautiful porch would bring
perfection to being knee deep in June.
I always enjoy seeing your porch with hanging ferns. It makes such a pleasant place to be.
