Summer Is

 Summer is about gardens.
 And visitors to the gardens.
 Flashes of color brighten the world.
 Summer is for growing good things to eat.


 And keeping the bunnies away from the good things to eat.
 Summer is watching the birds build their nests and raise their young.
 Summer is for relaxing.
 Summer is for working.





 Summer is for reading.

Summer is for projects that are not pretty but necessary, like new plumbing.

Summer is too short.
