It is High Summer again. The hottest and most glorious days of my favorite season. The green lush foliage, the beautiful clear blue skies, the magnificent warm, comfortable weather. I’ve written before that I wish summer would last forever.<\/p>\n

Then there are the summer\u00a0rituals and the gear. We decide to go to the beach and there, in the garage, is all the beach gear ready for action: chairs, umbrella, and blanket. Nearby sits the kayak. My diving mask and fins hang from a peg ready for snorkeling.\u00a0 And I can’t leave my fish pole off this list.<\/p>\n

If only summer could last forever, like my endless summer shirt.<\/p>\n

\"endless<\/a><\/p>\n

The other day,\u00a0 I decided to wear a short sleeve button down shirt.\u00a0 Light green and white stripes. I only wear it in the summer. I just didn’t realize how many summers I’ve been wearing it until I started going through my trove of old digital photos.<\/p>\n

I just wish summer could last forever, and maybe me too.<\/p>\n

Like an endless summer shirt.<\/p>\n
