Sliding into the Sunny Days of Summer

ABC Wednesday is a word meme with participants from around the world. This fabulous meme was created and hosted by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt who hails from Great Britain. We are now in our sixth round-some of the participants have been with this from the very first round; others have joined in along the way. Each week we are taken across the globe to see the varied and exciting contributions people have taken the time to discover and capture. We start with the letter, "A" and each week we post something in regards to the next letter of the alphabet. This week's letter is, "S".

Sedum

Sedum: also know as stonecrop. It grows really well here in my New Mexico garden. It is very faithful; coming back in spring and is the first to bloom in my garden. The ones that I have are great as they bloom at least twice in one season! And, their dried flower heads are fascinating...

Sand Art

Me thinks this is from a trip home to Molokai in the summer of 2007. Mark and I hiked down to the Kalaupapa peninsula for a day trip and the beach is what awaits you at the bottom of the 3.8 mile switchback trail (27  switchbacks?). Can't swim at this beach because it has wicked cross currents and undertow-not to mention a lot of hungry sharks! Anyway, my husband, Mark decided to amuse himself by casting this image in the sand.

Sunflower

There is nothing that marks the arrival of summer as well as the sunflowers that abound everywhere here in this state. You see the first blooms in June and they continue on until the fall. These are called new Mexico sunflower and they get VERY tall; over six feet! And, they have clusters of flowers up and down the stalk instead of one large bloom.

Sea Shells

Say it. Sea shells. 

Say it again. Sea shells.

Come on, I know you know what's coming next!!!

Say it five times really fast! 

"She sells sea shells by the sea shore."

"She sells sea shells by the sea shore."

"She sells sea shells by the sea shore."

"She sells sea shells by the sea shore."

"She sells sea shells by the sea shore."

Now, go untangle your twisted tongue...
