From the Quote of the Week Files; August 3, 2015

The first week of August along the Jersey Shore ~ Best time of the Summer for me ~ Great beach days ~ Hint of Fall in the air ~ Long bike rides ~ Listening to music along the water's edge with friends while watching a spectacular moon rise  ~ Fresh and ripe vegetables and fruit at the Farmers Market ~ This calls for some quotes honoring this time of year! Enjoy!

Some Summertime Recycled Quotes of the Week

“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”

Henry James

The Summer Wind

The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea
It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
And I lost you, to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter wind - have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind

Original German lyrics by Hans Bradtke
English lyrics by Johnny Mercer

Wishing you a most beautiful day and rest of the Summer wherever this may find you!
