Summer’s Sweetness

Life no longer singing wintertime blues

Summer’s sweetness rocks around timeless clock

Easy life, driving nature’s express lane

Planning fun times on each neighborhood block

 

Fresh-cut wood pile, next to backyard fire pit

Little granddaughter’s eyes, poised to light up

Marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate

Making sweet S’mores, summer’s perfect line-up

 

Nighttime fun never really wants to end

New memories flicker around fire’s glow

Please, please . . . let us stay for another hour

Darkening fire gracefully ends night’s show

 

On my, another blessed summer night

Dreaming later, tomorrow taking flight

    • Lisa, I agree with you about the heat. Here in central Ohio, we have already experienced about ten days with a heat index over 100. And we haven’t reached the usual hottest days in July and August. Stay cool and safe.

      • We have been lucky here so far. Nothing past 86. Next week looks like we will have some rough days, though. We will manage! I hate that heat hits me so hard but I’ve found ways to manage (while feeling awful and crying a little 😂).
