“Bedroom insulation is unnecessary and restrictive of optimum summer sleeping comfort.”

Variant: summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screeneed porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape.

In a summer meadow.

Sleep arm in arm.”

“Summer — summer — summer! The soundless footsteps on the grass!”
Indian Summer of a Forsyte (1918)
L’herbe de l’été pâlit sous le soleil.
La rose, expirant sous les âpres ravages
Des chaleurs, languit vers l’ombre, et le sommeil
Coule des feuillages.
