Plunk! It's almost daybreak and I toss the disco light into the lazy round river. The colors "pink on one", "green on three", "blue on two" play imaginary twister on the vinyl bottom. I'm sure the neighbors won't mind if I crank a little Rollin' Stones to greet the day..
It's pool party week-end..... Three Saturdays and three Sundays left before we run away to the beach. Three week-ends to fill with countdowns and count~me~in's and "don't count the beers". I reach over and nudge the yellow duck over the river's edge. Free, she floats away immediately, happy to be at home again....Tomorrow she'll be the gala host of the party.....toting watermelon slices and Michelobs....
Today, she'll just float.... a vinyl mermaidbasking in the sun....
.
It's summertime again.... towels are draped over the deck, damp from the evening dew, lazy and stretched, waiting to be kissed dry by the Friday sun. Georgia runs in crazy round-de-rounds, circle eights around the pool and the Make believe Ming Tree. I clink my coffee cup and smile....
.
Fridays are for dancin'.....
.
And summer's are for love.....

I'm so very sorry I couldn't make it to the beach this year. I got my passport a few weeks back but haven't enough cents to my name to travel. Have a tonne of fun anyways!
I know, it's been forever since I've been by but you seem to be doing well and I'm glad. :) Have fun at the beach!!! Dance some for me.
My, that's a big duckie...
Summers are for watermelons, mosquitoes, thunderstorms, barbecues, lawnmowers, cricket games, Pimm's Cup, street parties, pool parties, '60s music, and staying up all night talking.
Orhan....Ahhh, but at last you have your passport! Now, write it bigger on the calendar for next year! Start clankin' those nickels and dimes in a piggy bank and before you know it.... you'll be here! We'll miss you too, Skinny's been talkin' about this one all year! Muah!
Karma....Bless you little one! I haven't been around much either, just bopping my head in every now and then outa the rain, but we will clink! to you from the old wooden deck at the tiki Bar! Listen for cheers in the wind!

The day after I dragged out out pool and tried to fill it, it rained and ot cold for a week. Now I've discovered mice have chewed tiny holes in the vinyl.
