It’s Summertime! Let me just stop and say Whoo Hoo! 🌞 I’m so ready, are you?

Summer inspires me, I feel the most “me” in the summer. Maybe it’s all the extra sunlight, or the warmth, or just great childhood memories of being home playing outside with my sister, having popsicles and swimming till we were pruney. 💖

As this season is my favorite of the year, how about a little prose to kick it off? Nothing like a little free writing to get the creative juices moving! ✍🏻

Feelings of Summer

Summer brings to mind long evenings and the sound of katydids in the trees. Tomatoes on the vines rubbing up against the basil plants. Shouts from the kids on their bikes, and forts in the living room on hot afternoons, with the shades drawn. Cool caves of imagination.

It is walks by the river. And bug spray and sunscreen. Radios blaring from a house down the street. Or our backyard.

Slow easy breaths, now that the cold is gone from our lungs.

Summer is freedom. No school, only daycamp. More movies. Tank tops instead of layers.

Bright green leaves and brown lizards doing pushups. Breezy windchimes cascading along with the birds. Blue jays swooping.

Summertime is peace, and hot. It is retreating to the coast. Smelling the salty air and soaking in the sandy-sun. The kids in the waves, leaving temporary-eternal footprints in our memories.

I wish you all a Happy Summer, filled with sun, freedom, creativity, and joy! 😎
