This is what's great about summer

Summer is hot sometimes. Less often in the northern part of the country. But it is great. Here are some of my reasons why:

Giant Vegetables

Picnics!

Sunglasses

Thunderstorms!

Butterflies

 Geese, naturally.

 Frogs (especially of the giant, wet, and slimy variety)

Snakes--but only the playful kind

Flowers

Giant house-eating vines with flowers

Bees! and beekeeping, too.

These ones have been in this tree far too long.

Cats, because everybody likes cats

More cat! and a rabbit, and peacocks, all living together but without the eating each other part (we hope)

Deer, of the baby variety

In conclusion, what is great about summer is this: thunderstorms, food, plants, animals, and fun.

Nerd Blog Frog: Steampunking Dr. Seuss

Nerd Frog is feeling quite chipper today. He says that the rain always makes him want to go play outdoors. He especially likes to play hopping games on the long stretches of warm black rock that appear in random places, although he did have one friend who never came back after that. 

Nerd Frog's Nerd Blog of the day is Nancy's Nerd Blog called Dressmaker's Muse! She writes about costume design: making dresses from the early 1900s, building sweet hats, and steampunking! Steampunk is awesome. If you want to see Nancy's steampunk, you can visit this post, Steampunking Dr. Seuss, where she explains how she uses steampunk to enhance Seussical the Musical! If you would like to go see the show, click this link to find out dates, times, and location.


If you are a nerd, you are likely interested in Steampunk (or you think it's dumb)! If you don't know about steampunk, you can visit the Wikipedia Page, or read Girl Genius, the steampunk webcomic!

Look at this hat. This is Nancy's Steampunk Hat, for the character Maizie in Seussical the Musical.

Now, I Nerd Frog, am going outside to play.
