Summer is heralded by the voices of children
Calling to each other at play after school is out
Birds chattering and flying among emerald-green tree leaves
Warm winds, soft as a baby's blanket
Blooming gardens freshly watered by sprinklers
Freshly mown, velvety grass growing around and between houses
Vacations to the mountains and beaches
Rays of hot sun reflecting in brooks, ponds, lakes and rivers
Swimmers diving through foamy-crested breakers
Burning sands dotted with rocks and shells
