Summer Hugs

Summer is the season for many things. Most especially it is the season for frolicking outside and eating outside and being silly outside. The important word here would rightly seem to be "outside." Going on adventures to seek friends and smells and treasure of all kinds, outside. Summer is Mousie's favorite time of year, along with autumn, winter, and spring, but we'll get to those in due course. For now, let's talk about summer.

What does summer bring?

No, I'm not talking about bugs or thunderstorms or sweltering heat - these only happen occasionally and usually can be avoided, especially by a resourceful mouse.

Foods? Mmmmm - fresh peaches and cherries and melons and nectarines and blueberries and strawberries! Oooo, strawberries - they even taste like summer, which really actually tastes like cotton candy. Mousie loves strawberries. They're just the right size to hug! So Mousie went on an adventure and found the perfect gem of a strawberry, hidden in what else but a leafy strawberry bush. And he hugged it.
