July

July is the month that we celebrate our freedom, the month that we welcomed our first born child into this world, my mom's birthday, barbecuing in the backyard, swimming at the lake, sunshine and sunburns, my oldest nephew's birthday, t-ball games, wheat harvest, long walks in the evening, family picnics, visits to the zoo, sipping iced tea, sunlight until 9 pm, family vacations, mosquitoes and biting flies, fresh vegetables from the garden, camp outs and bon fires, the month of celebrating summer.
