| Birds were busy finding partners, food,  and a place to raise their young. | 
|  | 
| Busy eating, preparing for the endless cycle of seasons. | 
|  | 
| Swift storms brought rainbows.. | 
|  | 
| And beautiful evening skies. | 
|  | 
| And those storms brought the creek bed higher... | 
|  | 
| And made tiny water falls over every rock. | 
|  | 
| Every day was an adventure. | 
| 
 
 
 
  | 
| Every hour  a story waiting to be told. | 
|  | 
| The sunshine through the leaves made it seem like reality was altered.
 | 
|  | 
| And the water begged to be swam in. | 
|  | 
| Standing on the shore was like looking to the future, never knowing what was in it, yet excited to find out.
 | 
|  | 
| Flowers waited impatiently to be picked. | 
|  | 
| And Tomorrow waited impatiently  to be discovered. | 
Yes, Summer had finally arrived.
“All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.” 
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams
