the best things in life are free

In honor of the squelching hot temperatures today, I thought I would remind myself of all the things I love about summer.

• long days
• the scent of hawaiian tropic
• swimming holes
• summer twighlight
• the distant sound of someone mowing the lawn late in the day
• Bob Marley music (its just not quite the same in winter)
• bird songs
• wide open windows
• gardens (not that I have one anymore)
• fresh and local fruit and veggies
• homemade smoothies and limonadas
• the drone of a fan
• flip flops
• or even better: barefoot
• camping trips
• I almost forgot - thunderstorms!
