Summer Lovin'

• more hours of sunlight; late evening thunderstorms; sleeping without the A/C
• lucky bamboo; lilies
• fresh everything; dime-sized blueberries
• the return of eating tomatoes like apples
• linen spray; new couch smell; turning my apartment into a home
• laughter everyday
• strolls along the river; a corner of the grass; wandering along first avenue in the rain; skipping; humming; singing; dancing in the cross-walks
• rooftop bars; birthdays; open air restaurants; al fresco dining
• laying by a pool; classic rock
• BBQ chicken; grilled veggies; cricket pie
• a girls' weekend on the beach; a flag cake; SPF barely; striped towels; an orange bikini; a straw hat; a bendy straw
• lincoln park after dark; midnight at moscow; magenta on standby
• white, silver and gold sandals; flip flops; cotton skirts; throw-on, throw-over dresses with pockets, last minute clearance rack purchases
• wednesday morning hangovers
• three hour phone calls
• beginnings; spontaneity; magic; butterflies
