summer to me…

gin and tonic…lone tulips…shiny lipgloss…peach tea on ice…mojito-flavored bubble gum…the smell of paper…curve of my handwriting…tanned hands and feet…sand sticking to skin…lime squeezed in seltzer...sweet sweat smell on his skin…a stack of finished books…jean jackets in air conditioning…gold eyeshadow…5:00 pm…twinkling lights strung on sun porches…smell of wet grass…late night thunderstorms…stale morning breath…white peach margharitas enjoyed outside…making lists…crossing things off …big purses stuffed with forgotten surprises…linen pants…anything yellow…eating almonds in the car…grilled veggies…reading under cool sheets…chilly summer nights with the windows open…putting away the blowdryer, the smell of sunscreen…freckles…barefeet…painted toenails…long necklaces…sunkissed highlights…cocoa butter after a shower…writing thank you notes…getting mail…packages wrapped in brown paper…stationery…getting magazines in the mail…skirts and flipflops…sterling silver…chugging big glasses of ice water…watching the dog chase little flying helicopter seeds…lounge chairs and beach towels…bar-b-q’s…fizzy gingerale…snuggling underneath down comforters with the air conditioning turned on high…water noodles…seeing new emails in my inbox…handwriting letters, flipping the page of the calendar…fresh salads with fruit on top…the pop of cherry tomatoes in my mouth…the smell of the grill from the house…walking the dog together at dusk…smooth shaven legs…long emails to friends…reading strangers blogs…red onion on hamburgers…leaving work when the sun is shining…healthy days…wearing sunglasses on the top of my head…melted ice cream…eating outside…mini notebooks...long talks with close friends...iced coffee...journaling…laying in the grass...trying to forget that winter is on its way.

happy wednesday and happy summer!
