I have this memory from childhood of my Dad referring to me as Joe Summertime. But for the life of me I can't recall the context. Maybe it stemmed from not wearing a coat in the winter which might lead to a comment like "who do you think you are, Joe Summertime?" or something like that. Ah gotta love the Dadisms. Oddly this thought flashed back as I stood in the local cemetery at sundown last evening. I wanted to experience the final sunset of Eastern Standard Time in person rather than gazing out of a window. The clear sky was a real bonus. Perhaps it was the time of day, but the cemetery seemed highly charged. One of those times when your senses are keenly aware of the surroundings. The crisp cold air definitely helped sharpen the mind. As the sun dipped below the horizon I was left standing in this eerie half light, more light in the sky than on the ground, especially with this knoll standing between me and what was left of the sun. I loved seeing the disruption of the normal proportion of light. It presented a wonderful visual boundary line and it sent a little chill down my spine. Anyway, getting back to Joe Summertime, I realized how well adapted I am to summer and extended daylight. The switch to standard time in the fall always knocks me for a loop. Takes weeks to adjust and even then I hate it. It feels like an illness that can only be cured by the return to daylight saving time. The clocks advanced one hour overnight and already, just hours later, I feel full acclimated to the change. Things just feel normal again. And it gets better by the day from now through nearly July as we continue to gain daylight. So maybe Dad had it right about me. Guess I am Joe Summertime.

da Martigues, con amore.
Oggi giro turistico nella cosiddetta Venezia Provenzale, anche se il paragone è molto azzardato...
E buona estate a tutti !

I guess a lot of people read in the winter when its cold and gloomy, but I have always enjoyed reading in the summertime. Lay outside on a nice comfy chair get a bit of a tan and just relax...well that was all before husband,house and two kids..haha...but Im going to try it again ;))
May this summer brings lots of happiness to your life. Wish you have a great summer.

Summer, summer, summertime
(Summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
Summertime
Here it is the groove slightly transformed
Just a bit of a break from the norm
Just a little somethin' to break the monotony
Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
A little bit out of control it's cool to dance
But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
Give me a soft subtle mix
And if ain't broke then don't try to fix it (don't try to fix it)
And think of the summers of the past
Adjust the base and let the alpine blast
Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
And put your car on cruise
And lay back 'cause this is summertime (summertime)
Summer, summer, summertime
(Ooh, summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
(Time to sit back and unwind)
Summer, summer, summertime
(Summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
(Time to sit back and unwind)
Summer, summer, summertime
(Summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
(Time to sit back and unwind)
School is out and it's a sort of a buzz
But back then I didn't really know what it was
But now I see what have of this
The way that people respond to summer madness
The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
And checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
Ridin' around in your jeep or your Benzos
Or in your Nissan sitting on Lorenzos
Back in Philly we be out in the park
A place called "The Plateau" is where everybody go
Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
She turn around to see what you beeping at
It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac
And with a pen and pad I composed this rhyme
To hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
Summer, summer, summertime
(Summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
(Time to sit back and unwind)
Summer, summer, summertime
(Summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
(Time to sit back and unwind)
It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
Yeah, I gotta on sneaks but I need a new pair
'Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
The temperature's about 88
Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
Break to ya crib, change your clothes once more
'Cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at four
Sitting with your friends as y'all reminisce
About the days growing up and the first person you kissed
And as I think back, makes me wonder how
The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
All the kids playing out front
Little boys messin' round with the girls playing double-dutch
While the DJ's spinning a tune
As the old folks dance at your family reunion
Then six o'clock rolls around
You just finished wiping your car down
It's time to cruise so you go to the summertime hangout
It looks like a car show
Everybody come lookin' real fine
Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
Every moment frontin' and maxin'
Chillin' in the car, they spent all day waxin'
Leanin' to the side but you can't speed through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
There's an air of love and of happiness
And this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness
Summer, summer, summertime
(Summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
(And unwind)
Summer, summer, summertime
(Summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
(Sit back and unwind)
Summer, summer, summertime
(Don't you know)
Time to sit back and unwind
(Yeah, it's alright)
Summer, summer, summertime
(Summertime)
Time to sit back and unwind
(Sit back and unwind...)

Summertime Blues
Well, I'm a gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, no dice, son, you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well, my mom an papa told me, son, you gotta make some money
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next sunday
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Ow.
