# 60 Summer.....

I like the flowers and butterflies of Summer, but not the heat!  I grew up in the center of the country where it is hot in the summer and cold in the winter.  I don't think I wore shoes for most of every summer that we lived there.  The Goatheads or Stickers or Sandburrs were hard on the feet, but shoes were hot.   I spent alot of time doing whatever I felt liked, mostly exploring and watching nature.  I loved picking a fresh tomato off the vine, salting it and eating it.  We sat in the stock tank to cool off and fished in a pond for fun.  I learned to fold clothes, can veggies and kill 'n dress a chicken between explorations.  I remember one time getting the fry basket from the house and riding my bike a couple of miles to watch frogs.  I watched them from egg to frog and all between.  Life was fun then!
