Summer Lovin

I love summer.

I love it when it is hot enough outside to walk around at 9pm in shorts and a tee shirt.

I love it when you can leave your windows open at 3 am and it is too hot to sleep.

I love it when you go outside for a half an hour and you get a sunburn (well I do anyway).

I love not having to carry a huge coat around with me just in case I happen to step outside for 30 seconds.

I love it when I have to crank my air conditioner in order to be comfortable.

I love it when I can send my kids outside to entertain themselves on the trampoline or with the sprinkler.

I love short sleeves, shorts, and flip flops.

I love not having to wear shoes or socks to go get the mail.

I love not shoveling snow.

I love green grass.

I even love weeds, because if they are growing it means it is warm.

I love eating Popsicles, and ice cream outside.

I love the smell of sunscreen and tanning oil.

I love tan lines, and yes believe it or not, freckles!

I love hanging around with friends in the back yard so late that you forget you have to get up and turn on the lights.

I love the smell of back yard barbeque's.

I love crayons melted on hot cement.

I love laying on the hot cement to dry off after running through the sprinklers.

I love sidewalk chalk.

I love drive in movies with the windows down.

I love camping.

I love green leaves and growing things.

I love watermelon, and strawberries, and mangos, and tomatoes from the garden.

I especially love the smell of summer storms!!!

So tell me what do you love about summer?
