Between the dusk of a summer night
And the dawn of a summer day,
We caught at a mood as it passed in flight,
And we bade it stoop and stay.
And what with the dawn of night began
With the dusk of day was done;
For that is the way of woman and man,
When a hazard has made them one.
-William Ernest Henley

Enjoying the quiet time of early summer mornings, hard working long days, and calm late nights. This is my favorite time of summer, when it's not quite hot and the ground is cooled each afternoon by a timely rain shower.
