This week the online writing group, Trifecta has asked us to describe summer in exactly 33 words. Here’s my contribution:

I can feel the sun pouring down on that roof and I can hear James Taylor singing “up on the roof” :)))

The lazy-haziness of summer on those too-hot-to-move days is perfectly captured in your piece. How very well done, Claire.

One of the best parts of summer is watching aeroplane trails. I’ve never grown out of it…

“…divide a perfect sky.” I love this image – it’s so easy to put myself on that rug watching the same thing. Nicely done!
