O! How fast it seems

This is a butterfly–their lives go ever so quickly—so who am I to complain?

Ah…true. Not complaining–

Just a tad sad at the quickness of the passing of my favorite time of year

(Although, I must admit the over-the-top heat has just about ‘dun me in)

The earth is so hot when you are on the ground

The heat hits you in the face!

Still, I would prefer Summer to stay

A little while longer.

(Just a tad bit cooler)

For late Summer to linger

Then late Autumn to linger until Thanksgiving.

Giving all of us more days of

That slow, easy feeling — Summer brings to our souls.
