What says Summer to me??

Well, usually sweltering heat, picnics and fireworks on the fourth are the epitome of a summer image, but for the second year in a row, we are experiencing lots of rain and thunderstorms. The news is filled with stories of surrounding areas being buried in water, and old friends are calling from across the country to see if we are OK. We fortunately have only been slightly inconvenienced by the weather in comparison to those who live in low water-crossing areas. None-the-less, we will watch fireworks tonight --on television instead of live.
