Summer

School's out.
Text books are put away and novels pulled off of dusty shelves as readers stretch out on lawn chairs to immerse themselves in a world of fantasy.
The sun begins to peek out from behind summer clouds and children run free feeling their skin begin to brown underneath the sun's shining gaze.
Skiis are placed in the garage and hiking boots removed as nature lovers turn their gaze to the ever greening mountain side, imagining the cool shade beneath the trees on a mountain trail.
The tsk tsk tsk of sprinklers fills the air mingled with the laughter of children as they run through the jetting streams of water, filled with joy, simplicity, and peace.
Campers begin to air out their musty unused tents in preparation for the adventures only they can see in their mind's eye.
Bees are heard buzzing through the air searching for newly opened flowers in order to create the honey that feeds their young.
It's a time of beauty, simplicity, peace, and serenity as sighs of contentment are heard and the lines of stress in the faces of students are replaced by the refreshing freckles of sun browned skin.
Summer.
