I know it's summer when Damian and I spend lazy evenings at the pool, where I welcome the coconut scent of sunscreen and the smooth, coolness of the water on an otherwise hot day.
I know it's summer when my parent's garden, although somewhat neglected, somehow brings forth potatoes, squash, peppers, kale, and many other delicious things, as well.
I know it's summer when the sun pours through the sky and down to the earth so brightly that watering a garden makes a rainbow.
And I know it's summer when I frantically run around my apartment in search of my missing purple flip flop, when I only wear my hair up and constantly remind myself to schedule a hair cut, when I am only cold inside, when ice cream and Popsicles always sound good, when I eat fresh fruit and salads every meal and look forward to Damian grilling fish on the weekends. How do you know when it's summer?
Popsicles, Micah's yummy grilled pizza,the wading pool out for the kids, DEFINITELY hair up all the time! Also fireflies. They seem so magical. (Until you catch one &I it looks like a beetle. Hm.)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much about the video! This post is lush by the way. I know it's summer when I'm sitting in the sun with friends smiling, going to festivals and having an overload of end-of-year exams..
ReplyDeleteLove it- and wow those are impressive potatoes! I know it's summer when I get to fall asleep to the whirr of the ceiling fan, so restful.
ReplyDeletePool! I wish I had a pool! I love swimming. Jealous.
ReplyDeleteMy kale is growing like crazy too; I don't know what to do with it all.
For some reason Summer brings BBQs almost twice a week for dinner. <3 Love you blogs! So cute btw!

My dad grills more often, the kids in the neighborhood are home all day and outside, my brother is always mowing the lawn, my parents are out working in the yard, my dad goes golfing every weekend, baseball is on TV, and we have fewer rainy days (although not too many days without rain - it is the Puget Sound after all!).
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me wish we had hot weather! I love everything about summer! Especially the smell of coconut sunscreen :)

When my cats start shedding and require daily brushing, I have to be wary of my car overheating, and I can grow flowers on my deck!
