The Charm of Summer

The moment has happen - it came to me in my car - it almost always does - summers' peak! It's happen already (it's only July 28 - what about August?), it crashed right on top of me.

For those of you who don't know after the taxes are mailed on April 15 there is a run towards what I refer to as summers' peak. Everything leans toward that moment of summers' peak. Peak of the corn, the peaches, the plumbs - the heat the sun - the stars, big warm nights under a full moon- sun kissed golden skin, grapes on the vine, the gathering of family and friends, dogs laying in the shade, children running through the sprinklers - it's that moment when the snows have finally relented to the sun touch - and they won't be coming back for several months. It's that change in the tilt of the earth on 6/21 that doesn't make it's self known until the P E A K - it's different for everyone - most people don't even notice. They let summer run by them- like any other season. But my life is waiting for the peak - much like the people who live for Christmas day. I embrace the peak, reflect in it and then let it go so when I have those late January or February blues I can remind myself all is not lost in the dark - the run for summers' peak is always around the corner and the moment is always positively bliss.
