Summer in Rhode Island

Ah yes,

My favorite time of year has finally returned. We spent the long hard winter running in the cold, enjoyed the new born life of spring as the trees and plants came alive, and now we can take in the sun and pretend for 3 months, that we live in a tropical paradise. Summer means cook outs in the back yard, Miller High Life, Providence Water Fire and the beach, all wrapped into a single weekend. I heard on the radio the other day, "There are only 13 weeks of summer, so what will you do with them?" That really puts into perspective how important enjoying the summer really is. So before it technically begins (it unofficially starts on Memorial Day of course) we have already purchased our season beach pass, gotten our first color (a little more red then brown, but its color), and had our first few cookouts. As I toss and turn tonight, because the sun burn won't really allow me to fall asleep, I will be smirking at how I am just starting to enjoy the summer of 2008!

A summer time activity, and yes I am wearing a bike helmet.
