So here on this Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, (on which I have nothing but time because I am a teacher) is a list of all the little things I love about summer:
warm nights under glowing sunsets
tan feet in perpetual flip-flops
fluffy beach towels on lounging chairs
crisp vegetables in raw flavor
bright fruit in colorful salads
humming lawn mowers in fragrant grass
long breakfasts with lingering conversation
picnic lunches on sandy blankets
grilled dinners with icy cocktails
finished books on patio tables
floating rafts in lazy pools
dripping swimsuits on shower doors
freckled noses under constant sunglasses
