~ Summer Days ~ Love Is ...

Do you remember how we'd lie on the grass, sucking the honey from the clover stems on those hazy lazy summer days? Watching for hours the billowing clouds pass by, naming the shapes as they formed? Carefree, fun, imaginative moments ... those deelish fudge scicles to cool us ... making homemade ice cream in the ice trays ... lolly gagging with nothing in mind. Watching the bees busy buzzing about, the ants trailing back to their nest with their goodies.

The wonderful fresh scented smell of rain after a hot spell ... running thru the puddles, splashing merrily. Or, when the fire department would open the fire hydrants to help cool us off.

Watching the birds gather twigs & bits to build their nests. Looking for those newly hatched baby birds.

Selling lemonade or kool-aid to the passersby.

I don't know how many of you picked berries in the summer, but we 5 kids did. Strawberries & raspberries. Packing our peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, riding out into the country on the bus early in the dewy morns, working for hours on end in that endless summer heat. Snitching a berry when the boss wasn't looking. How thrilled we were at the end of each season to turn our 'tickets' in for that hard earned money.

Awww! for the good old days ... just memories!
