Summer time and the living is easy

FEVER... FEVER... FEVER......


sunshine fever, summer fever...
It has started.....
lawns mowing...b-b-q's cooking,

Yes, Spring is here
and hopes of Summer
coming right behind.

Summer is the best time of the
year to me. It has Memorial Day.
The beginning of outside cooking,
Women get a break from
the cooking part. They still do the
set up. But men are now kicking
in with their share. Ah, the smells
of the neighborhood b-b-q.

And the Father's Day picnic.
If the weather is holding, it
is time for the kids and grandkids
to run free thru the park, under
the watchful eyes of parents and
grandparents.

Then there is the 4th of July.
My favorite holiday. Outside
all day. Parades, bands,
kids running with balloons.
Fireworks at night time, that
brings out the child in everyone
of us.
And if you don't have a tan
by this time, then you are
sunburnt. A sign you aren't
outside enough.

And the garden, sifting thru
the fresh dirt, is good for the
soul. But the down side
of that is the weeds to come.
But the flowers are your reward.

Ah, hello, spring/summer,
the answer to my cabin
fever. I am so ready.
