Summertime
And the living is easy.
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high.
~ George Gershwin 1935
Honey bees, cut grass, hot pavement and hopscotch chalk... pigtailed girls and grass stained boys... sticky hands and loose band aids... Faded balls, swatted gnats, mud puddles and itchy elbows... fire flies, cold sprinklers, blue popsicles, and slimy frogs... screen doors, short pants, bicycles, and S'mores... Sandy beaches, cap guns, golden mustard and ice cubes... kick the can, flip flops and poison ivy...
"Summertime and the living..."
