summertime!

this is it, neighbors.
summer.
the longest, most-enduring day of brightness.
bright. bright. bright.

y'know the problem with pinnacles?
the A*-holery of apexes?
the acrimony of an acme?
yuuuuup.
it's all a darkening doorstep from here.
that's real.
when it comes to sunshiny optimism,
it's the fullest it's gonna get.
and now the year's half over.
yep.
half empty.
word.
that doesn't mean it's awful,
just that it eventually will be.
deal with that, duders.
you want to be positive?
okay.
just look outside,
unless you live somewhere lame,
it's probably still light out.
and that's so dope.

we're on that 'riding bikes to dinner' jauns.
we're repping hemlock standing deadwood
timberframe grape trellis arbor sh!t.
we're doo-dooin' the big hostas.
(that's no joke, son. regal blues in effect.)
new cars.
new plants.
mulch like what?!
you know this, my ninjas.
we're having a super day.
why?
because today is the day.
the actual day.
the first day.
happy mutha-flippin' summer, y'all;
never quiet, never soft.....
