Summer is...
sunshine
laughing until you can't breathe
sundresses and loose hair
staying up late and sleeping in
days by the pool, chlorine in your hair
ice cream every day
wading in the creek until your toes go numb
a hairband tan line on my wrist
spur-of-the-moment thunderstorms
eating outdoors
flip-flops and peeling sunburns
cloudless skies
fireflies in the dewy grass
dandelions and fresh-cut grass
lemonade
sunsets and sunrises and the days when you see both
cruising down a back road with the wind in your hair and country music up loud
heat and humidity
blackberries growing wild
garden dirt between your toes and tomato stains on your fingers
books books and more books
deep thoughts
ball caps and road trips
dancing in the rain
campfire sparks against an inky sky
staying up until 3 AM to talk to people you love
open windows
being spontaneous and crazy and wild and free
Dear summer 2018, I'm not ready to say goodbye...
Ah, I love summer! So many good things to be thankful for! Great list! I'm not ready for summer to be over either... but now we get to look forward to seeing all of the trees change colors, it really is pretty in the fall! :)

DeleteI love this!!! Summer is amazing. :D
ReplyDeleteIsn't it?! :D
Delete*Sniffles* That was beautiful! But hey, I have to admit that Autumn is my favorite season. I love cooler weather, the leaves, everyone wearing plaid, apple cider...ahh. But I'm with you, I'm not quite ready to bid Summer farewell...this one's been awesome!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, girl! Autumn is very lovely...so is plaid. *wearing plaid right now* xD This has been such an amazing summer, for sure! <33
DeleteI love this, Faith!!!
ReplyDeleteI was saying yes to many of these things. :D Especially the books, books, and more books. ;) And staying up late of course. :) Do you guys actually have fireflies where you live?! That is so fun!! Sadly we don’t. :’( When my grandparents used to live in Illinois and we would go visit them, I loved watching the fireflies and trying to catch them then let them go after a bit. :)
Summer has been great this year, but I’m so excited for fall and winter!!! =)
Thanks, Rebekah! :D
DeleteAhhh, books are the best! And we totally must stay up late to finish them, sometimes! ;) You don't have fireflies?! That's tragic! :( Yes, we have lots of them in the summer. I remember running around in the falling darkness as a kid and catching them, sometimes putting them in a mason jar. <3 Aww, that's a sweet memory!
I'm looking forward to what the rest of the year holds as well! :)
I know! It really is tragic! That's so fun and what a great memory. :) Fireflies and catching them always reminds me of "Night of the Fireflies" from the SummerHill Secrets. =)
DeleteAww, yes! That was a sweet (but sad <3) story. :)
