A Summer's Eve

Hot, lazy summer evenings and ice cold lemonade takes me back to my old neighborhood where I grew up.  On nights like this, everyone would be out on their porches drinking homemade lemonade, just trying to stay cool and all the kids in the neighborhood would be out playing kick ball or hide and seek, which was a particular popular game.  The heat just sort of forced everyone outdoors, you got to know your neighbor. That's what I miss most. Here everyone stays indoor each in their own air conditioned space with their children playing hide and seek on social networking sites. We would stay outside until late into the night.  Even the ice cream truck came around late.  That's another thing I miss, the sound of the ice cream trucks.  Oh wait, we buy it at the supermarkets.  There was no curfew because it was so hot, we couldn't even to sleep.  Oh well, here and now I just got me a tall glass of ice cold lemonade, stocked the refrigerator and the cupboards and I told my kids, they're on their own, because I just want to lay perfectly still.
