Why I Love Summer

There's something about the season summer that just really gets me going. I absolutely love summer and everything about it.

The drone of the cicades as the sun begins to set.
The twinkle of firefly's lighting up the night.
The calm night breeze as you sit on the porch.
The sound of kids jumping into the cool pool.
The taste of a popsicle after a hot afternoon.
The smell of hot dogs and hamburgers that drift through the neighborhood.
The joy of going to a baseball game with thousands of your closest friends.
The welcome of the day in the early morning.
The comfort of lying in the grass and looking at the stars above.
The time that seems to drift away and you divulge yourself in a good book.

And most of all I love the way that summer makes me feel like nothing else matters but right here and right now. There is something about summer that makes me forget my worries, relax, and just enjoy being me. There is no other time where I feel more alive and more myself than in the Summertime... :)
