初中生原创优秀作文——夏日
夏日
也许这才是生活最本质的样子。——题记
每年暑假，我都会回到老家呆一段时间。
今年依旧。
院子前面有一个湖。湖里，是一群不知疲倦的鸭子，在那儿胡乱扑腾，那嘈杂的叫声，仿佛在抱怨毒辣的太阳，把水都晒得发烫了呢，都说“春江水暖鸭先知”，殊不知“夏江水烫鸭亦先知”呢。
湖边的梧桐树，依旧挺拔直立，像一个英勇的战士，没有丝毫的畏惧。美人蕉的叶子边缘有些发黑，怕是被这热情过头的太阳烤焦了吧！枣树摇晃着一个个未成熟的、青绿色的小果实，随着夏风柔柔地起舞，那喜眉喜眼的样子，连影子都变得粘稠起来。
院正中有一棵老榕树，那弯曲粗壮的枝叶，密密地覆盖了大半个院子，投下了一大片树荫，那是我清凉的港湾。偶有几缕调皮的阳光，偷偷地从缝隙中探出脑袋，散落稀疏的光影，在地面上肆意地跳跃。头顶是断断续续的蝉鸣，透着些许恬淡和慵懒的气息。
老榕树下的石桌上还摆着一碗绿豆汤，带着冰糖的香甜，一粒粒绿豆乖巧地蹲在碗底，散发出一种诱人的清香。在这样的熏陶下，仿佛那夏日的阳光也变得柔和起来，藏着几分温情。手中却还握着一根甜甜的雪糕，那是浸到心底的甜，轻轻抿上一口，不禁莞尔一笑，还是小时候的味道，一点没变。此刻的阳光，也是尽人情谊的，如奶油般浓浓郁郁地铺洒下来，深吸一口，嗯，是幸福的味道呢。
偶尔，也会来一场铺天盖地的雷雨。雨滴紧促地连接在一起，不给一点喘息的空间，却形成了好看的雨帘。坐在窗前，怀着一颗小小的欢喜心，暗暗地想：这才是夏天吧！晴朗的时候毫不做作，阴雨的时候也不会拘束。倒是这样率真又耿直的夏天，让我深深着迷。
夜，深了……
空气中弥漫着艾草的苦味，衬着魅蓝的夜空，反倒有了几分返璞归真的安稳。耳边是农田里杂乱无章的蛙叫，却比城市里空调机“呼呼”的闹声悦耳得多，好像谁说了一个笑话，把一塘蛙惹笑了。这是大自然的声音。手里的老蒲扇輕轻地摇动，牵起我童年的梦，温柔地唤起了我的孩提时代。
这些简简单单的日子，在我的生命里唱着歌，跳着舞，生命也因此变得柔软起来了。
