THE LONG AWAITED RETURN OF SUMMER

And Summer has arrived.  Yes, technically, it's still Spring, but it feels like Summer as arrived in spirit.  And the snow and the ice is behind the Gentle Reader and I.  The Summer lies ahead of us.  Yes, I know that Summer is only here for a limited time only.  However, the Gentle Reader will enjoy the Summer while it's around.  And while Summer is only around for half of the year in the state of Ohio, that only makes Summer feel even better than usual when it finally arrives after a long freezing Winter.  Yeah, Winter is for polar bears and penguins.  The Summer is for the Gentle Reader and myself.  And the upcoming Summer will be filled with wonder and delight.
And as I'm lost in thought about the long awaited return of Summer, here are some photos of Nina Dobrev.
