If you ever need a guaranteed mood lifter, smile bringer or good feeling, present a bunch of zinnias. The pure colors and simple style say summer as much as a juicy watermelon or ripe tomatoes. Throw out a handful of zinnia seeds, add a little rain and, in seven or eight weeks, you’ll have a handful of happy.
Each color stands on its own, but mix it up and my oh my, what a delight! Here’s a little painting to keep that feeling all year.
Summertime and the zinnias are easy!
