“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”

Henry JamesSlide3
“The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring
noons
, and sunsets smeared with too much color.”

perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. - James DentSlide5
A
life without love is like a year without summer. - Swedish ProverbSlide6
“summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things can happen to quiet people. for those few months, you’re not required to be who everyone thinks you are, and that cut-grass smell in the air and the chance to dive into the deep end of a pool give you a courage you don’t have the rest of the year. you can be grateful and easy, with no eyes on you, and no past. summer just opens the door and lets you out.”
