Oh Mid Summer, How I Love Thee

Oh mid summer, how I love thee. Let me count thy ways ...

Sunshine
  Open windows
     Warmth
         Fresh air
           Birds chirping
             Hummingbirds dancing around honeysuckle
                Motorcycles
                   Outdoor music under the stars
              Walks in the park
           Patio drinks by the water  
         Always something to do outdoors
      Riding the towpath
   Ice cream cones
 Grilling on the patio
Barefoot and sandals
  Headlands Beach
      Those incredible Monument steps
         Fireworks on a warm summer night
           Light and healthy meals of salads and fresh fruits
              Sitting on the swing on my patio
                 To lay in a hammock in the shade of a large tree
             Fresh mulch on completed summer flower beds
          My hibiscus ready to burst into 10" red flowers, a new one each day
        A freshly mowed lawn
     Sunlight until after 9
   Endless playtime  
To bask already in summer and still have much summer left.
