I love the summer. Michigan, which is where I live, is awful in the winter but you can almost forgive it in the summer.

Right now as I type this from the deck (wireless Internet, love it ) I can see the fire-flies flying around. There are woods behind the house and the creek is full of frogs (of course). I've been raising tadpoles into toads again this summer and the yard is full of tiny toads.

What would be cool would be to find out what the different people reading this from all over the world have surrounding them. What are some of the neat things you can describe around your home?
