The prompt for Week 13: summertime refreshments

July in Paris and not an ice cube in sight!
We stopped at a bar in Montmartre to escape the heat.
He ordered a beer; I asked for a citron pressé— i.e., lemonade.
Here's what I got: freshly squeezed lemon juice,
sugar, and cold water . . . and not one single chemical.
That alone was refreshing enough (even without ice cubes)!

The prompt for Week 12: Happiness is ...

For me, happiness is being in my 
favorite place in the world—where
I was last November when I took this shot
(and where I will be again in September—yay!).

The prompt for Week 11:
The honey of the fields—what's in bloom?

Well, last month down in the Virginia delta, it was weeds.
But I was glad the owners of the field behind this house
chose not to mow—whatever their motivation
(or lack thereof)—because all those yellow flowers
looked so pretty, especially to a city girl like me.

The prompt for Week 10—"at the water's edge"

I haven't made it to the beach yet this summer,
but this is the next best thing: It's Brooklyn Bridge Park,
with an awesome view of the bridge and lower
Manhattan across the East River (to which
these kids are completely oblivious).

The prompt for Week 9—sitting by the window

My cat Buddy loved to sit by this window,
where he could watch the birds and
munch on the pansies (his 2nd-favorite
 snack; first was potato chips).
