I love summer! At this time of year everything blooms and nature becomes alive again! I like to Wake up with the first singing of the roosters. Watch the sun slowly rise in the sky. Like to bask in its rays. And in the evening, all the attention is attracted by the radiant sunset, filling any human heart with an irresistible sense of happiness.Every summer my brother and I go to the village to my grandmother for the whole vacation. We diligently help her in the household: caring for the vegetables in the garden and pour a huge garden with flowers. In the summer, this front garden reminds me of the eighth wonder of the world, because each flower reveals its Bud, filling the entire area between the house and the fence. Many times I have seen passers-by, passing by, couldn't look away from the colorful plants. Often my brother and I could spend all day in this little garden, watching the flower lazily throws its petals and it immediately flock insects.I love summer!

BingIn winter, spring and autumn, nature is not so beautiful fragrant. I even think that all the flora and fauna every year waiting for summer, when you can finally feel free, to shake off heavy snow and really warm from winds and frost.
Summer is a great time for new adventures! Only in the warm season Hiking delivers a great experience. In the forest, you can see many animals, swim in the river, try a real Hiking ration and at night, when the sky is covered with dark fog and the stars will sanctify the black canvas, you can take a guitar and sing inspirational songs by the fire. I very much love such campaigns because in them I feel as one whole with the nature.
And most importantly, summer is the period of the longest vacation. For three months I can have a good rest and with new forces to be accepted to school!In winter, spring and autumn, nature is not so beautiful fragrant.

I live in a house with my mom, dad and two brothers. We all have chores that we do each week. My mom makes dinner every night. We usually eat pizza or tacos. She also cleans the kitchen. Mom mops the floor when it is dirty and she does the dishes after dinner in the sink. My dad cuts the yard outside and takes out the trash. They both work very hard to keep our house clean. My brother and I like to help. Before dinner we set the table and every morning we make our beds. After dinner we all usually watch TV togheter in the living room. At 10:00 PM we all go to sleep.
