Breezin’ Through Summer Sayin’ Farewell

Sayin’ Farewell

Farewell, my summer love, farewell, ooh

Farewell, by Michael Jackson

Farewell, summer love.
Til we meet again.

Farewell summer breezes.
Til we meet again.

Farewell summer beaches.
Til we meet again.

Farewell summer friends.
Til we meet again.

Farewell.
Au revoir.
So long.

Summer farewell reminds us:
To let go gently.
To cherish the good memories.
To release the not-so-good ones.
To hold the summer warmth in our hearts.
To welcome whatever lies ahead.

Till We Meet Again.   
May reflections continue to guide you on your journey.

– Nadia Crane, So Long, California (Blog 8/31/25)

This summer,

May the summer breeze whisper a fond farewell.
May you step into autumn refreshed and invigorated.
May the summer warmth stay with you all the way through winter.

Thank you for joining me on this summer adventure, Breezin’ Through Summer. The series stretched my creative writing skills a bit. It also introduced me to new WordPress features including AI videos (which seem to be no longer available?) and AI generated images.

I’m hope this series brought back fond memories of summers past.

Happy Labor Day!

Til we meet again!

Breezin’ Though Summer Laughin’ Out Loud

Summer Laughter

Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my opened ears

Across the Universe by The Beatles
(Written by Paul McCartney & John Lennon)

Summer laughter.
Deep from the belly.
Bubbles up before you even know why.
Out it comes.

Summer laughter.
Happens unexpectedly-
on picnic blankets, on bike rides,
or long walks on the boardwalk.

Summer laughter.
It catches you off guard.
A silly moment.
A memory.
A funny look.

Summer laughter.
Cute giggles.
Loud laughs.
And everythin’ in between.

Laughter.
Resonates.
Culminates.
Echos through the air.

Summer laughter reminds us:
To live in the moment.
To let it interrupt us.
To welcome the unexpected.
To find humor in ordinary moments that become extraordinary.

Fun creates laughter. Having fun is essential.
It is vital for health and happiness.

This summer,

May laughter find you when you least expect it.
May it rise up and greet you with surprise.
May it remind you that joy is easily shared.

Breezin’ Though Summer Watchin’ a Sunset

Summer Sunsets

Walk down to the beach at sunset
Look as far as you can see
You will find that endless ocean
And that’s how my love will always be

Never Ending by Elvis Presley

Summer sunsets.
Orange and blue,
a watercolor painting
stretched across the sky.

Summer sunsets.
Soft edges, warm light,
brushstrokes of texture,
depth, and movement.

Summer sunsets.
The beginning of the end.
A day turning to night.
An artist’s masterpiece of such.

Summer sunsets.
Shadows fading like the past.
The sun sliding
from the present.

Summer sunsets.
Revealing a future
layered with brilliance
just beyond the horizon.

Summer sunsets remind us:
To notice the beauty
of a day slipping away.
To honor what has been
and welcome what will be.

My eyes are drawn to the sunset. The blue-green ocean competes with vibrant streaks of orange, red, and pink.
Like a blank canvas unveiling a masterpiece.

– Nadia Crane, Wine & Faith – 19 Days in Napa

This summer,

May the sunsets wrap you in color.
May they exceed your expectations of nature and beauty
coming together as one.
May they remind you that every sunset leads
to the dawning of a new day.

Silly Bluebirds

Joyful wings flutter,
Hundreds graze in meadows green,
Singing hope to all.

Fun fact: According to birdwatchingusa.org 95% of bluebirds mate for life. Male bluebirds sing and dance to attract mates. They can sing up to a thousand different songs when wooing a partner. The Eastern Bluebird is the official bird of New York and Missouri.

Science fact: Bluebirds aren’t actually blue. Their feathers contain nanocrystals that scatter light so only the blue wavelengths reflect back to our eyes. It’s structural color – not pigment.

Silly Ducks (Birds)

Waterfowl wonder, 
Quack‑quack, swim, waddle‑waddle,   
Two hearts on one pond.

Fun Fact: Ducks form pair bonds that stay together during migration, paddling for miles and miles. Their souls seem to dance side by side as they glide together on the pond of life. Romantic, isn’t it?
