Here is our Hattingdon wearing a lovely, bright summer fashion hat in stripes of hot pink, sky blue, lime green and pure white. She carries a matching pinwheel in the same bright colors. Hattingdon enthusiasts asked to please see this design before we get into Fall. Here she is. Sweet!

Hey, how about a poem while it is still summery? Composed by ©Destinee, here it is. It is called Missing Summer.

Missing Summer

Published by Family Friend Poems, November 2008, with permission of the Author.

The grass so green,
the sun so bright.
Life seems a dream,
no worries in sight.

Tans and tank tops,
laughter and bliss.
Each moment passes
without even a miss.

Friends and cookouts,
memories and laughs.
Good times to remember,
but how long will it last?

The grass soon fades,
leaves begin to fall.
School replaces sleepovers.
Oh, I’ll miss it all.

Ooh la la! Summer is officially here. Hattingdon has the perfect hat — naturally. She has been wearing it all day long. We named the hat Summer. Take a look.

The Summer design features a fashion hat with a tall, rounded dome and wide brim, all in delicious stripes of deep pink, sky blue, lime green and pure white. Vivian made a pinwheel to go with it. How sweet it is.

Summertime

Summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere on the longest day of the year. Also known as the Summer Solstice, this date officially celebrates a time of year when the sun is warm and the outdoors is the place to be.

Many schools are out of session during the summer, which gives families the opportunity to take vacations — using the time to explore and enjoy the great outdoors camping, hiking, and biking.

Community pools open up. Beaches are open, too. Water adventures in the form of kayaking, canoeing, skiing, and fishing entice us to the rivers and lakes.

Now that it is here, what are you looking forward to most?
