It seems like forever since I've updated this thing. :) Well, today's topic would be the book I am currently reading: Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. It's pretty much a description of the events in the summer of 1926. I'm obsessed. Ray Bradbury's description are just beautiful and I feel in love with the story and the memories it brings back of my own summers back when I was a little kid.
For example, we used to have this grape vine. It was so wonderful and beautiful to 8-year-old me that I would pick grapes and squeeze the juice into the glass, add sugar, and attempt to make grape-ade. Naturally it failed. Ah, life as a young one.
Really, summer is a beautiful season. I love the warmth and just the overwhelming sense of freedom. The green in the trees, the fireworks on Fourth of July, everything. Anything could happen. The sunshine lets you have fun with friends, family, etc. Winter just seems so blah after Christmas. Only a few more months!
