Summer is here!
Children giggle and
squeal as they splash one another in the pool.
The yellow-green of
spring’s trees has given over to full-leafed, deep green of summer.
Flowers are everywhere.
Bright rainbow colors:
red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
They delight the eye.
Their scent perfumes
the air.
Backyard cook-outs are
the order of the day.
Mouth-watering aromas
come from the grill.
What a feast when corn
on the cob, homegrown tomatoes and strawberries are added!
Sunlight lasts into the
evening.
As dusk settles over
the land, a time of quiet peacefulness follows.
Summer offers some free
time.
A time to play, renew
and relax,
Summer’s gifts are to
enjoyed and shared.
Be thankful for summer.
Take time for summer!
