Summer.
We love you.
Like, for real, love you.
Because to us, you represent:
lighting bugs
the smell of sunscreen on sleepy little girls
hiking trails
the emergence of freckles on 4 year old skin
petunias and impations
bathing suits and towels drying in the backyard
exploring different playgrounds
tremendous thunderstorms
playing outside until 9:45pm
ice cream with friends
beers on the front steps after Ellie is in bed
the realization that I can still hit the golf ball a long way, but that my short game needs a little (ok, A LOT) of work
eating outside
fairs and fireworks
hanging out a little longer on the deck
sunburns
dirty feet
open windows with fluttery curtains
sprinklers
farmers markets
leisurly breakfasts with just one more cup of coffee
cute dresses
flip flop tan lines
messy popsicles
talking with neighbors over back fences
container gardens with fresh tomatoes and squash
cheap fruit (hello $1 blueberries!)
So You Think You Can Dance
and swimming all day at a newly discovered swimmin' hole.
Please hang around awhile. You can never wear out your welcome.

Not the thunderstorms!! Well...sometimes they are ok, but not when they take out the power on a day that is in the 90's with terrible humidity! Then I can do without thunderstorms!
Great post! I think I need to make an effort to enjoy summer more!
Great list!
Looks like you are squeezing all you can out of summer.
And I wish we had lightning bugs. :)

I couldn't agree with Beth more! Summer is going by WAY too fast... I need to stop and enjoy all it has to offer :o)
Have a good week! Hope E is feeling better!
