ON THE TWELFTH DAY OF SUMMER...

... my true love gave to me –

Twelve Grillers Grilling

Eleven Buns a-Burning

Ten Burgers Broiling

Nine Hot Dogs Heating

Eight Watermelons

Seven Peaches Pitted

Six Berry Boxes

Five Hard-boiled Eggs

Four Apple Pies

Three Red Ants

Two Pickles Green

And a chicken on the Bar-B-Cue

Major Senior Moment here --- yesterday, July 1st, was the twelfth day of summer.  It's so hot down here it slipped my sweaty mind.  On days like these I think I'd like to be just where I took this picture years ago: Lucy Vincent Beach on Martha's Vineyard.
