Summer is a comin' in

Summer is a golden-haired girl dragging a favourite muddy stick across the Heath. 

The entire Heath.

Summer is a pixie in a polka dot dress with fete glitter on her cheeks. 

Her sister dreams peacefully under the protective embrace of last season's tree,

as she stirs mud puddles with purpose.

Summer is a lot like that opening scene in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, except without any boring history books.

  10. You are too kind Mila, thank you.

    I am a slow responder (I take approximately seven hours to wake up in the morning for Pete's sake), but I will respond to the challenge with pleasure, thanks for thinking of me :)
