"Summer must be around the corner if ..."

the dog spends his afternoons rolling around in the grass;

 

the boys get buzz cuts;

 the front garden has come alive;

the sound of the tractor is a regular thing;

\

sneakers have been replaced by dirty bare feet;

the garden has been tilled;

the seeds bought;

and the kids spend more time playing in the dirt than with their toys.

Yep, summer's on it's way.
