warm weather favourites

smelling the heat of the sun on your skin, going barefoot, the sound of the cottage screen door opening and closing, spring babies (of the animal variety), ice cream, light fabric billowing in a soft breeze, the scent of spring blossoms, the light, the tinkle of wood chimes, potlucks, eating fresh snap peas from the garden, going on a swing, afternoon nap in a hammock, watching butterflies, morning swim in the lake, picnics in the park, roadtrips, camping, gin and tonic, meeting friends on a patio, digging your feet in the sand, walking around the house naked, leisurely bike rides, meeting old friends, dirt roads, big straw hats, colourful fabric, strawberries that melt in your mouth, sandals, stinky armpits, favourite summer song, skinny dipping, watching a storm approach, bonfires, outdoor music festivals, theatre in the park, the colour pink, robin's egg blue, grass green, pale yellow, subtle red, trying something new, flying a kite, putting your hands in the dirt, waking up early with the sun, sky full of stars, the call of a loon, feeling the soft fur of my animals, playing euchre, watching my skin become brown, good surprises, outdoor showers, feeling moss beneath your feet, reading a great book.

Feel free to add some of your own!

Imagining winter and feeling as if it's an impossible reality, daily near-nudity, 35 degrees, crickets, so-much-light, watermelon, NO SOCKS, kids in diapers only, the smell of hay, salt-water skin and hair, waking up in the a.m. and hearing the heat through the open windows, whirling overhead fans, driving in traffic with the windows open, the radio up and sweat rolling down my skin, flip flops, tree shade, itchy bug bites. ahhhh.
