FIVE MINUTE FRIDAYS- Welcome
Meandering over to The Gypsy Mama, joining the blogroll for FIVE MINUTE FRIDAYS: here is my unfettered, unadulturated post for the evening:
Welcome.... to our summer- the season that felt like the prodigal son- having abandoned us for a long time- leaving me a little lonesome and bitter. Summer in Pittsburgh is a rouse really- it exists to fool us into thinking that we might be able to stick it out just one more year...those five month winters, where the sky is endlessly grey and seasonal affective disorder is so much a reality to everyone that it is not really a disorder at all- just a state of being here in Western Pennsylvania- Summer makes us forget all that. Splashing in pools, making new friends, learning new and exciting non-schooly things at camp. No bedtimes. Glorious family living.
Welcome to our summer.

What a lovely homage to your kind of summers :) I especially liked the prodigal reference. And I really enjoyed the pictorial that accompanied it as well :)
