SUMMER...IT GOES BY WAY TOO FAST...

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time~ John Lubbock
In my opinion, summer goes way too fast!  It seems you just settle into it, and you only have a month left.
Summer, to me, is a time to relax.  To not have to get the kids up early for school...to not have to ask if they did their homework...
it's farmer's markets, concerts in the park, flyiing kites, and time spent on the beach...
to finally wear shorts, short sleeves, and flip flops...warm nights with dinner outside...
              to see the colors that the sun makes everything around me...so much brighter and intense...
ENJOY the rest of the summer...it goes way too fast.
What does summer mean to you?

I agree, summer goes way too fast, and around here, it's too short--by September,it starts to cool down fast. I love all those things too--just being outside without being cold!
