Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Summer is in the air!

It’s in the bristling heat.

In the warm afternoon breeze.

And in the colorful clothes in which we dress.

It’s in our brilliant smiles when we’ve found a place to suntan at.

Suntanning on a hot Sunday afternoon!

It’s in the brilliant green grass, where my sandals lie.

Summer is when we daydream of our upcoming vacations,
on a sandy beach in the middle of the Pacific.

An upcoming beach holiday!

With the pleasure of doing nothing but reading..
