Oh, how we keep biding our time lying face down on the bed with arms and legs stretched out, or stand blankly in front of the open refrigerator door till it starts its incessant beeping. But general exhaustion isn’t a good enough reason to let a whole season go by! Not sheer laziness either. Here are a few quotes on summer to help rejuvenate your summer experience:
