I'm not sure there is anything quite as wonderful as a spring evening, with all the windows open and a temperature of 70 degrees and the air full of the sounds of peepers and tree frogs.
What a wonderful picture you paint. I can practically smell the jasmine, feel the warmth from the setting sun and see the glow as twilight nears. LOVE LOVE LOVE this post
I couldn't agree more, Nan. :) The peepers are spent here, having peeped for a long, long time, but, tonight, a cool breeze is coming through, the lilacs are exquisite, and all is right in our little corner of the world. I loved this post.
There is something quite as wonderful: A spring morning :-) With the sun being out early, the beautiful song of a blackbird near my window, and the scent of lilac coming in from people's gardens.
Isn't it wonderful! It always makes me happy to hear the peepers, which was quiet earlier here in TN. I never knew they were called peepers until I read about them in Gladys Taber's books. We always called them tree frogs.
Lovely. That was me last evening, but instead of spring peepers I sat and enjoyed a junior high girls softball game, and a 12 year old girls soccer game. Not quite as natural and peaceful, but it was absolutely delightful to be out enjoying the evening.
I am envying your spring evenings, which sound a great deal like an Oregon one ( although you are later .. Lilacs have come and gone there. Yours are so beautiful. I can't stop gazing at your header. (No spring flowere here.. Downside of no winter ... Is no spring. And we are not ready to go back to oregon quite yet.
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
What are peepers? Sure we don't have those in the UK!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture and in my garden too, although going over now. I'm pretty sure we don't have any tree frogs in England.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea what peepers are too . Never heard of these here in Australia.
