This is a perfect way to idle or rather spend my summer day. I am not referring to the heat and swelter of a summer day. I am referring to a sunny holiday.
I am one of those who want to imbibe more than just the peace and serenity of a place.
I always imagine a big, wide, enormous field with long green grass. A spreading chestnut tree in the middle of the field. The place thrives with fresh green grass. The field is filled with the most spectacular flowers I have ever seen. Not far away is a murmuring cascade that makes the atmosphere mellow. Though I cannot see the cascade but I can hear the deep sound of water splashing against stones and rocks. Aroma of ripe fruits adds to the ambience. Sparkling silver rays of the sun lends the Midas Touch to everything it touches. The whole field is scintillating with the glory of the sun like a thousand sparkling diamonds.
The environment is supremely tranquil and silent.
I imagine myself sitting under the shade of that spreading big tree. I could feel the whole atmosphere melt into my soul – the sweet smell of just blossomed flowers, aroma of ripened fruits, smell of green grass, melody of chirping birds, a flowing cascade. I savor the sensual delights of the atmosphere and enjoy this natural oasis.
I am stirred and energized by the fragrance of some fresh flowers blooming nearby. Then I would lie down under the tree over the soft fresh grass. As I lay I could feel the cool breeze on my face which has just touched the cascade and flown softly through the trees towards me. With half closed eyes I have almost resigned to slumber- lying silent and still.
Just perfect.
Mere thought of such a place calms my nerves and makes me relaxed. This place has always existed in my mind. I don’t know since how long. I have never been able to find such a place. But some day sure I will. Until then I will find solace of this beauty in my imaginations.
What’s your idea of a perfect summer day?

Jyoti, your description is the antithesis of our conditions on this day. We are in the Boston area for the holiday and it is cold to us, but normal for here. Thank you for you nice comment on my blog.
