Summertime





Summer, a time of feasting
Berry pies and fireflies
Long evening walks..
Swimming holes, and fishing poles
Salty taste of sweaty skin...
Drinks with ice, watermelon slice
Neighbors visiting on the porch...
An ant parade, cool lemonade
Walking barefoot in the grass..
Robin's nests and overnight guests
Sleepy days with no agenda..
Baseball games and bonfire flames
Summer, a time of feasting 
    ... Something to remember- in November
