This design is filled with Summer memories...a delicious slice of cool, sweet watermelon to cool your thirst; popping a ripened strawberry into your mouth as you pass the picnic table; the bees humming around the blooming flowers; and as the sun begins to set, the lil froglets croaking their goodnights as you wait for the fireworks display to appear in the darkened sky.
