Good Times, Sunshine, and Summertime

Mom was gifted with a beautiful day to celebrate her birthday. It was a classic 'Dutchess County Day' that was complete with lovely temperatures and a perfect blue sky. Isaac left for veterinary school today and thus a reflection of summertime is definitely in order. Faith Hill's classic country song was almost perfect to fit the feeling of the day, except that some slight changes had to be made to accomodate the working ethos of this summer.

Sunshine and Summertime, Bentley Edition

We’ve got apron-clad ladies
and girls picking daisies
People getting sweaty in the barnyard
We’ve got homemade granola
and fragrant gladiolas
and four square parties in the front yard

“Heyyyyy, that’s the way we do it”
New jobs and blue skies that never end.
“Heyyyyy, that’s the way we like it”
Good times, sunshine and summertime.

You’ll see straw sombreros
and flying barn sparrows
Stereo’s blasting in the construction plot.
You’ll see rock hard bodies
With no room for "gaudy"
and everybody’s got work goin’ on,
and showing what they got.

“Heyyyyy, that's the way we do it.”
New jobs and blue skies that never end.
“Heyyyyy that's the way we like it”
Good times, sunshine and summertime.

“Hey everybody, can't you feel the rhythm now?”
“Hey everybody, don't you want to work hard?”
“Hey everybody, can't you feel the rhythm now?”
“Hey everybody, don't you want to work hard?”

“Heyyyyy, that’s the way we do it”
New jobs and blue skies that never end.
“Heyyyyyy that’s the way we like it”
Good times, sunshine and summertime.

Good times, sunshine and summertime
