Sounds of Summer

I've been wearing shorts/skirts and tees/tank-tops for nearly two weeks.  Where was spring!?  Not that I'm complaining; spring around here meant sandstorms that stung your flesh and kept everything coated in grime.  And as you all know, summer is my favorite season.  Yeay warm!  I've been taking Bambuul to the Fake Lake for our walks lately.  Taking a leisurely stroll around a body of water reminds me of home, and inevitably there are kids around who want to distract entertain Bams for a bit.

Ducks in the Fake Lake.

And this, the glorious sound of summer.  I miss hearing the frogs announce the arrival of summer in our front pond.
