SUMMER IS HERE!!! || why summer is my favorite

 

 

Summer is officially here!!! *cheers* WAHOOOOOOO!!!! Summer is my favorite season ever (although Fall is pretty high up there on the list too). There is just something about Summer that makes me so happy. I'm always ready for Summer when it comes around. Maybe it's because Spring is right before Summer and Spring and me don't really get along too well. #allergies

But enough about Spring. Today we're talking about Summer and why it's my favorite season.

I love Summer for lots of different reasons. One reason is

THE WEATHER

The weather in Summer is just....THE BEST!!! The sun is warm and the skies are blue. A light, cool Summer breeze feels so good blowing against your warm face. The temperature is 80's and higher.

Going to the private river we always go to at least once in Summer and then getting back in the truck, rolling the windows down, and drying off from playing in water with the warm breeze blowing against you.
At night you catch lightning bugs and then sit on the back porch with the family, enjoying root beer floats and watching the sun set, while listening to the insects and frogs start up their orchestra (as Mama calls it).   

 

THE FOOD 

Foods fresh out of the garden like corn on the cob, watermelon, strawberries, & squash.
Fresh berries eaten right off the vine like blueberries, blackberries, & raspberries.
Having cookouts. Grilling.

Eating gallons of ice cream & soda floats & ice pops.

 

 

Oh, and my Pop makes this drink (he calls it "Blackberry Drink") that he came up with when he was a little boy living on the farm. He taught us how to make it. So in the summer we'll pick blackberries and we'll make it for him, and let him taste it to make sure we're making it right. It's perfect on a hot summer day.

 

 

OTHER THINGS I LOVE ABOUT SUMMER



 

skin gets darker and hair gets lighter. freckles pop out. fresh cut grass. farmers markets. fishing. swimming. t-shirts. searching for sharks teeth and sea shells. corn fields. plants sitting on the deck. riding in the boat. sitting on the dock. getting a farmers tan. barefoot. picking wildflowers. running through the sprinkler. seeing clothes and sheets blowing in the breeze while hanging on the line. washing the car. baseball caps. going into the cold library after being outside in the heat. and then eating ice cream afterwards. spontaneous trips with the family. the sunshine on your skin. gardening. watching the clouds. camping out on the screened in porch on a warm summer night. having the windows open in the house and watching the breeze make the curtains dance. having everything lush and green. summer rains and thunderstorms. the freedom. fireworks. the 4th of july. road trips. picnics. riding bikes.

 

 

 

 

Oh yes. Summer is definitely my favorite month and I am so happy that its actually here!
