Feels Like Summer
Written at the beach whilst drinking an Arnold Palmer
Watermelon with mint
Sand between your toes
Falling asleep in the sun
Peach cobbler
Striped umbrellas
Lake washed hair
The smell of sunscreen
Roadside wildflowers
Hikes in the woods
Wrinkled linen
Boats with clever names
Melting ice cream
Roadside cherry stands
Gingham bikinis
Husking fresh corn
Ketchup on hot dogs
Collecting shells and stones
Freckles
Morning jaunts
Afternoon swims
Grilled fish
Reading in a shaded hammock
Paddle boarding
Damp towels
Walking barefoot
Seeing all the way to the bottom
Sliced tomato on toasted sourdough
Lightning bugs
Tan lines
Raindrops upon dill
Pool parties
Orange floaties
Straw hats
The midweek farmer’s market
Fly fishing at dawn
Sugar snap peas
Aperol spritz
Folding lawn chairs
Sun-kissed shoulders
Resort wear
Concerts in the park
Sails gliding across the horizon
Picnic blankets
Barbecue sauce
Strawberries and basil
Iced tea and lemonade
Meandering bike rides
Walks along the shore
Sandcastles
Seagulls
Cicadas
Tubing down a river
Ice filled coolers
Sunsets over the bay
Fragrant campfires
S’mores
Going knee deep
Diving in
The joy of summer - so well captured! Enjoy….every….minute!
