It was a summer full of ice cream.

Nope. Un-uh. Negatory. It’s far too early to be funding these on the ground. -
After a morning of rain, it turned out to be a nice day for iced tea. -
Just a summer evening, walking the dog. -
We got to catch the last game of the summer season of little league baseball this evening. The boys of some friends of ours were both in games tonight for their respective teams, both games for the championship. It was a nice night for baseball, a cool summer evening with a nice breeze to keep the mosquitos at bay. The kind of summer night you hope for, the kind that reminds you of summer nights past. It had an old-time feel to it, a throwback to a time in America when maybe life was a little simpler than it is now.And to top it all off, both teams won.

My first visit to the pool this summer. An evening visit, nice and breezy, not crowded at all. I didn’t even have to get in, it was just nice to sit by the edge and chill. Not nearly enough chilling lately… -
Summer sun through the trees. -
(Last one, I promise.)
Part of the Memorial Day festival in our town includes a library book sale. A buck a hardcover, or a buck for two paperbacks. This year I spent eight dollars and came away with some great reading:
Some are books I’ve read before and loved but don’t own (South of Broad). Some are books I’ve always wanted to read (the Bachman Books). Some I think I was supposed to read but didn’t (All Quiet On The Western Front). Some I read but I think a reread now that I’m older will allow me to appreciate the book more (A Separate Peace). Some I’ve seen in a past life while shelving books and thought “Now that looks like a cool book” (The Company). And some are just for fun (Elmore Leonard).
All in all, for eight dollars, I think my summer reading (and then some) is all set.
