Pails

Shells waiting on the shore for children's hands pails overflowing with summer treasures Summertime fades in September's last hour memories gained shells in pails wait for June

While reading this, I could just hear Jerry Keller singing "Here Comes Summer". Good example of a tetractys.

Good thing we live in FL. Come to think of it, I have filled up pail shells with snail shells. The best part about it, we can do it in February. The rest of the soupers are going to be jealous if we keep this up!
