Tribute to Monet: haystacks, pastel

What can we to do on this fine summer day?
Ride to the local farm for cider donuts & cup 'a Joe.
On the way- framed by sunglasses- a Monet painting.
Not as impressionistic- but impressionable.
Haystacks floating like fat cows resting on a sea of green.

June.
Enshrouds us with humid days
and balmy nights.
Breezes swirl curtains to cool.
Nets protect from bites.
Blushing brides hide
their beauty and innocence.

Gooseberry Beach-Newport RI

I'm waxing.
Back to 20 something.
I 'd drive to Newport for the day.
Lie in the sand
Under a beach rose.
Tan every inch.
Gaze at yachts, sailboats, mansions,
and be mesmerized by the aura
of a life I could not fathom.
Intriguing.
