fresh
is hard to come by in these hot hot summer months
rain is in short supply
grass is brown and dry
windows closed against
what the weatherman calls oppressive heat
mother nature holds her breath
waiting, waiting
to exhale
a breeze that scorches
a gale that dries
holding in the tears
that eventually
she will cry

Just lovely Kelly! The perfect photo for “fresh!”

And may she please cry where drought and fire are the worst. I can feel that holding of breath waiting for the weather to break.

The lush green is a refreshing contrast to the parching heat. Hoping it’s cooler where you are this morning..as it is here.
