“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…your daddy’s rich and your mamma’s good lookin’..”  That old Gershwin jazz tune always plays through my mind in June.  Summer is upon us and we’ve waited patiently for it to come! We even travel great distances at great expense during the winter months to get a taste of this season in some other exotic locale.  But now we have it, right outside our own door!  So what are we going to do with it?  Watch it through the window? No way.  Let’s take a stroll through summer memories, summer favorites, summer joys and dreams…

 endless sunshine

waffles & maple syrup (they taste better on a summer morning)

short shorts

pedicures

the sound sprinklers (thunk,thunk,thunk,chchchch)

toes in the water

hot dogs roasting on the fire

the smell of camping

trying not to step on the starfish

salt air

margaritas

popsicles

smell of cotton candy

 Well, what are you waiting for? Get out there and enjoy the season!  It’s so brief, it will be gone in a blink…

    Ahhhhhhhh,
    all of the sweet scents of summer.

    You know what? I bought a FABULOUS “cotton candy” candle & it smells like Heaven. Yes, heaven MUST smell like this.

      Oooh, that sounds wonderful, Kim! I must look for that candle and I agree, it must be the scent of heaven 🙂 I think the smell of cotton candy is even better than the taste!

    Who knew Michael Buble was so… acrobatic? I love summer, and making time to get in the pool as often as possible. Eating strawberries and drinking pink girly drinks. Life is good!
