Is it Summer?

It was a busy month.   Sam's almost daily question from May through June: "Is it summer yet?"   It has finally been answered in a myriad of ways this past month even though only recently have the temperatures in the NW felt like summer.

Now it is I who ask, "Is this summer?" and the kids smile and say yes while they
are eating strawberries, then raspberries from our garden
watching butterflies and hummingbirds flit from flower to flower
swinging shoeless in the hammock
swimming in a lake
riding bikes to an outdoor concert
hiking in the woods and then picking blueberries
and finally wrapping up the day with a piece of corn on the cob or a special ice cream treat.

How does your family recognize the seasons? What traditions do you celebrate?
