What joy will summer bring me today? Summer is finally here, and she’s bringing the most perfect day! From sunup to sundown, there’s so much to do on this lovely summer day.

Her stars shimmer like spilled glitter across the sky. I whisper a wish and say goodbye to the day.I wish summer would stay.
