Waking up to the ice cream truck: summer loves

July 14th, 2004 · No Comments

What I love about summer:

Water fun

Fountains, swimming pools, swimming lessons, squirt guns.

Produce

Rows of ripe peaches and nectarines greet me at the grocery store.

The garden

There’s always something new blooming

like these nasturtiums the color of creamsicles

and something to eat

Summer dresses

Blue with polka-dots, black with red flowers, lavender, turquoise: all easy and pretty, feminine fun.

Slip-on shoes

Nail polish: yes. Laces: no.

The beach

Sunny and sandy. Low tide treasures. Castles.

Afternoon naps

How sweet it is to wake up to the ice cream truck.

Heat

Some like it hot. I do!

Sunshine

This Seattle girl can’t get enough rays.

Pass the Vitamin D (and the SPF) please.

Laundry

Less laundry to do when less clothing is worn which means less labor for me.

Vacation

All I ever wanted

Concerts

What beats listening to music on a blanket beneath blue sky?

Dining al fresco

This year we are discovering the joys of eating dinner on our deck. Picnics are fun too.

Lemonade

I also like hibiscus iced tea, iced Thai tea and cold chai. Ice cold water.

Grilling

Ice cream cones

For kids.

Of any age.

Summer love

I love summer. And I love sharing summer with someone I love.
