Almost sweet summer

It is almost sweet summer and I'm sharing one of the photos I've been working on of late for a submission I plan to make.  The apples falling from the apple tree are chubbier than they have  been of late. So far, they haven't gotten so big that they crash into the roof, sounding like bottle rockets going off.  I'm hoping they all fall before then. The temperature has been in the nineties for days and I am out each night sprinkling the flowers and the lawn. Iced tea and lemonade have become a staple in the house. Today, when my husband and I walked to the new "water feature" at the park nearby, there were tons of dragonflies flitting about. When I was a kid, this was the time of year when all of the neighborhood kids would gather in the alley after dinner and play kick the can and "Olly Olly Ocean Free" until the lights came on and our mothers called us in to the house. Sweet summer.
