 I stopped by the folks place tonite on the way home from church. While I was there my nieces's husband arrived with his father. We were all outside and noticed alot of lightning bugs this evening. (I didn't catch any and put then in a jar) They  reminded me of my childhood summers. What else reminds me of summer?  Playing midnight, freeze tag and red light green light with my multitude of cousins. Jerry the ice cream man.  The bug machine/truck that was probably spraying us with DDT. The bug spray looked like the smoke coming out of the Batmobile or Couragous Cat's car. Swimming at the Babylon pool. The pool itself was on the Great South Bay and was surrounded with sand. I hated being sprayed by the sprinklers on the way into the pool, it was always so cold. In later years I also noticed that the teachers at the public schools worked as lifeguards at the pool. Summer also included lots of made up scary stories that usually had someone being buried alive. What reminds you of summer?
 
For now, back to studying
