Get some sunshine, get a bruise, play a game that you might lose. Go out fishing, ride your bike, skate the park or take a hike. Find some friends and climb a tree, try to catch a honeybee. Swim the lake or in your tub, watch the stars or join a club. Don’t just sit inside all day, if you must then play with clay. Build a blanket fort with chairs, help your figures climb the stairs. Take a break from lights and screens, read a book, imagine scenes. Don’t let summer go to waste, it will soon be gone with haste.Get some sunshine, get a bruise, play a game that you might lose.

"if you must then play with clay" :) This made me smile and giggle all at the same time. So cute and creative indeed. I like this poem about moments in the Summertime. My favorite would be- lingering outside in the rain. :) Brandy

There are many exciting moments you mentioned here. :) I like them all. Some rain has caressed my world, but could use so much more. Hmm, I will send some your way, maybe it will reach you. ~ Brandy

I have a nephew that works with clay - keeps him busy and active on a hot summer day. We could use a little rain out here in the high plains of the West; it's a little crispy right now! I'm betting my entire city would be out dancing in it. -Cary
