As
we come into the dog days of August, adults often conjure images of how
great it was when you were a kid, when summer seemed to last forever.
Today, summer passes in the blink of an eye. First it's Memorial Day,
then it's Fourth of July; and all of a sudden you're rapidly running
towards Labor Day. If only summer could last like it used to. Wouldn't
you give anything for the days in the summer when you were bored, with
nothing to do? Give me a few days with nothing to do and I'll fill them
with activities like reading a book, fishing, snoozing in a hammock or
just admiring the beauty of the gardens that my wife has created around
our home. It is wonderful to take in the magnificence of gardens all
around us and dining in the outdoors surrounded by nature. It makes you
appreciate the simple things in life
