"THERE SHALL BE ETERNAL SUMMER IN THE GRATEFUL HEART." -celia thaxter

only 5 days 'til the summer season starts around here...

"a perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken."

-james dent


rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
-john lubbock


"the summer night is like a perfection of thought."
-wallace stevens

"in summer, the song sings itself."
-william carlos williams

deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.
-sam keen

a life without love is like a year without summer.
-swedish proverb


summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the english language.
-henry james

my hubby's summer starts in mid-june (he's an administrator), and we're so excited!

i'm guessing that you're in the austin area? we may be down there later this month with our 2 1/2 year-old and our 6 month-old (both girls). do you have any recommendations of kid-friendly things to do?

and any of your readers, too! please feel free to comment.
