Summer is calling and she wants you to answer her by getting outside and enjoying local events in your community!
Here in Concord, the largest city in the Bay Area's Contra Costa County, we have so much goin' on!
The 28th annual Music and Market series begins Thursday evenings, May 19th through September 8th at Todos Santos Park. Free music, farm fresh food, friends - always fun!
Part of the same music series is the ever popular "Tuesday Night Blues", which begins on Wednesday (did I get ya?!) TUESDAY, July 5th through July 26th.
****************************************
Of course, I will be teaching my art journaling and craft classes throughout the summer and participating in a number of events including the Hope Walk, art shows, and the Contra Costa County Fair! See a list of my events and mark your calendar!
I hope to see you at one or more of these "happenings". Tell Summer hello!
Oh, the pleasures of summer! I love the warm weather, long days of sunshine, more time to play outside.
My poem was inspired by sports memorabilia on a table.
Take me out to the ballgame!
Peanuts, popcorn, crackerjacks, and beer.
Signs of summer ahead.
Shorts, skorts, t-shirts, and flip flops,
Children playing hide-and-go-seek in the yard.
Watermelons, pink and juicy,
Oranges with a zest,
Peaches, fuzzy and sweet.
Corn on the cob,
Fresh apple pie,
Barbecued burgers on the grill.
Friends gather at the end of the day
Enjoying the last sunshine
With a dance at the park.
School's out,
Vacation's on,
Everyone can hardly wait
For those lazy days of summer.
These are signs of summer ahead,
My favorite time of year.
