Summer Means...

• Clear, blue skies with fluffy, white clouds
• The hot sun beating down on you
• Soporific heat, and sweating, while lying next to the pool, half asleep in a kind of trance-like state
• Knowing that you can't resist too much longer before jumping in to the nice cool water
• Sounds of kids laughing and splashing in the pool
• Ice-cold water from the cooler box
• Cicadas singing in the trees
• The pleasure of a good book (being read by the pool, of course)

(You can substitute "the lake" for "the pool" above.)

This is kind of how I felt this afternoon. Tak was off in one of the pools with Gaku, and Hana was sleeping on a towel next to me.

Summer is definitely my favorite season!!
