"Summertime and the livin' is easy...fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high.
Your daddy's gone, but your mama's good lookin' so hush little baby, don't you cry."
"Summertime" from Porgy and Bess
Know what i like about summer?
I like...
Catching fireflies.
(even though I'm grown up)
Silly Sisters
The fudge popsicles the Silly Sister makes
Kissing my Baby.
(uhh....literally a baby)
Picnics at Fort Boykins
(under a thunderstorm sky)
Sunsets, after the thunderstorm:
Double rainbows over the house and field
(two already!)
A little more time to read the books I've neglected all year
Discovering for the first time The Wind and the Willows
Chicken salad
Garden dirt
Making videos with the Silly Sister
(um. Link to come. you will laugh your head off.)
Windswept beaches
Flip-flop day at Tropical Smoothie
Travel plans
Watching romances grow among friends
Blueberries
Listening to rain
Catching up on letter-writing
Lemonade
Peach Cobbler
and soooooo many other things that make summers precious!
What says summer to you?
Splashing through mud puddles.

DeleteYour Daddy's gone? The version I sing says your Daddy's rich! I think I prefer my version ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, that's how the girl at camp sang it....I think....whatever. It sounds like a better story this way. ;)
DeleteThe Wind in the Willows is one of the best books ever. I didn't find it until last year, and I was sad I didn't know of it sooner. It is the perfect summer book, and made me wish I had a boat I could go rowing in. A river would be nice too.
