"Summer Memories"

Summer, being the warmest season of the year, usually occurs between spring and autumn, consisting of the months of June, July, and August, in the Northern Hemisphere; however, the official astronomical dates are June 21 - September 22, the extension beginning from the summer solstice to the autumn equinox. In the Southern Hemisphere, summer includes the whole months of December, January, and February.

Summer is a time when the weather is warm, the sun is bright, and families get together on outings such as: going to the beach, family picnics, lake fishing, boating, surfing the waves, camping at national parks, taking vacations, visiting the zoo, roller coasting at amusement parks, visiting friends and relatives, or just plain sitting at home, on the porch in your rocking chair, drinking a cool glass of lemonade.

Summer brings a lot of joy for most. Do you have any fond memories or funny experiences you'd like to share of a perfect day, or week of summer? Was there a terrible incident you cannot forget, and would like to express, which happened in the wake of summer? Or would you like to tell us in your own words, just what summer means to you? What you enjoy seeing all around you: it's natural beauty, how people, you observe, find their fun and entertainment, during this popular season. What does summer make you feel?

Let's share our thoughts and well delighted, or even saddened memories of our experiences, and what summer means to us. Let's write in poem or prose, and we can even discuss together, our most impactful memories and thoughts of the warmness of summer, under that bright, luminescent, orange and yellow sphere, emitting rays of light, which without, we could never survive.
