Summer calls us to get up and go out, be out early to see the sunrise or stay up past twilight to see the sunset, or just play longer in summer’s warmth.  It invites us off the sofa, away from electronics to have experiences that make us feel alive.  It calls us to grill, try new foods, explore, have the sun and breezes in our hair, toss out the alarm clock and escape!
