Lazy Summer Days

Summer is my favorite season of the year, as well as least favorite at the same time! The good things about it is that there's no schooling! Well, not that much. It depends on how much we did during the rest of the year. The nice thing about being home schooled is that you don't have to follow the public school schedule--breaks whenever we need them, starting/ending early or late--and it's so nice to be able to swim in the creek without Mom or Dad worrying that it'll be too cold and I'll catch hypothermia and die (I'm a cold-weather swimmer, I've been known to swim in icy-cold creeks in February). The bad things about summer is that...well, they're lazy! And hot, and there are so many snakes where we are. And not just the harmless little grass snakes. We're talking copperheads here! Not exactly like sharks, but it sure feels like you're on this teeny island with a shark swimming around you when you're alone in the woods, and you get ten feet near a clump of rocks and then you hear this hissing sound, and the bushes rustle...and then out pokes a gazillion copperheads! Aaaaaaaaahhh!! And for all of you who don't know, copperheads are highly poisonous.

And in summer you get really bored. Like now.
