Virginia sent me a charming poem this morning via email and I found a photo that seems to fit just right. I hope you enjoy both!

Summer Performance
I watched the tall slender grasses
Dancing to the beat of the wind.
They gracefully dip and twist
Ballerinas in green tutus
Swirling silver-tipped curving heads
Nature’s Corp de ballet
A summer performance.
