Lazy Girl, Episode 8, Season 2: Scenes from a Summer

I cycled in reverie

down lanes and roads.

I swam in a warm river framed in grass green.

I smelled the subtly perfumed air.

I watched the swallows swoop and swirl.

I saw a perfect rose on a fence by the sea.

I ate a juicy tomato warmed by the sun.

I dined on peaches, the nectar of the gods.

I bought a hat, a necklace, a dress

and a bracelet.

I went to a party and was photographed by Newsday.

 I saw a splendid exhibit of the work

of William Steeple Davis.

 He painted these great deco figures.

 He photographed this vase of Lily of the Valley.

 He painted the Bug Lighthouse.

He painted this image of a powder-puff cat.

 Richard's family came to visit.

We met Danielle Gisiger, owner of 

the Black Whale in Aquebogue

designer of clothing and hats.

I saw a giant ear of corn.

I found the remnants of  Annie's
peach stand, but now they
sell dahlias.

I saw my sister, Susan.

and Jeanne (on left)

I saw my brother, David.

 I hung laundry on a line
A study in black and white

 We lunched at the Ram's Head Inn
on Shelter Island

 I saw a dappled lawn at the Ram's Head Inn.

 I walked by pretty houses on Village Lane.

 I saw a white hydrangea.

And we dined with old friends Andy, Julie and Sienna.

Adieu from Orient,

and

À Bientôt!
