"I take a sweet taste of a chilly ice pop;
your favorite is cool lemonade ...
We both can cool off when the summer
sun shines if we rest under trees, in the
shade.
A tiny narrator describes for readers seasonal adventures with someone very special. It's spring when the two - grandmother and grandchild - don raincoats and boots to head out into the rain. The umbrella is wide, the comfort evident as the child holds Grandma's elbow. Dry and eager to enjoy the shower, they march on.
In summer, they drip with sweat before succumbing to the pleasure of a 'sprinkly splash' from the hose nozzle. How wonderful that feels! There's also the draw of ice pops to cool the tongue and bring welcone indulgence. Hats protect faces, and tree shade brings relief.
Autumn means warmer clothes to get outside and fly kites. Luckily, the wind is strong, and help from a nearby fencepost keeps feet on the ground. The colors are glorious, shimmering in reds, oranges and yellow notes.
Finally, in winter, the two cozy up in pajamas and robes to spend a cold winter evening ready in a comfy chair. Hot cocoa and peppermint tea add warmth and a chance to take a peek at the soft snow falling outside the window.
"In winter
or autumn
or summer
or spring,
a day
spent with you
is the very best thing."
