In The Summer

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Ahhhh Summer... There are a lot of great things about Summer...

  • In the Summer, the days grow longer and the nights grow shorter. There is more time for outdoor fun!

  • In the Summer, you are awakened by the sweet sound of song birds playing outside your window.

  • In the Summer, there is nothing like the feeling of walking barefoot through cool, wet sand.

  • In the Summer, the air is hot and you can spend your days in a swimming pool, splashing and having fun.

  • In the Summer, the feel of the sun beating down on you is warm and comforting.

  • In the Summer, the sweet taste of ice cream seems all that much sweeter. Even if it does drip down your arm.

  • In the Summer, you can sit for hours on the shore of your favorite lake soaking your feet and feeding the ducks.

  • In the Summer, it is fun to take long walks and collect sea shells or pretty stones.

  • In the Summer, there is no rushing here and there; which leaves plenty of time to spend at the beach with the fresh ocean air!

  • In the Summer, you can sit on your front porch and savor a nice, juicy slice of watermelon. Don't forget to have a watermelon seed spitting contest!

  • In the Summer, you can spend 10 hours in a boat - relaxing and fishing; and it seems like 10 minutes.

  • In the Summer, there is somethng magical about sitting outside at dusk listening to the frogs and crickets singing their songs.

  • In the Summer, the grass is green and the trees are too... Perfect for laying out a blanket and having a picnic.

  • In the Summer... Everything seems better, fresher, calmer... Let's face it... One of the biggest reasons for this is probably because... In the Summer, there is NO SCHOOL! (Well, atleast for most of us... Sorry!)
