Summertime and the Living is Not Easy


​“Summertime and the living is easy…” or so the old song says. It implies that summer is a time to relax, be carefree, enjoy simple pleasures and delight in all that is good about the warm weather. July 4th and Labor Day are celebrated as family and friends get together for fireworks, picnics, swim parties and barbecues. People relish gardening-planting flowers and vegetables and watching the fruits of their labor grow. Sunshine feels warm on the face and there is a familiar smell in the air associated with the winds of summer.
