Summer Loves

 Car windows down, wind-blown tousled hair, a warm dashboard for a footrest, stereo turned wayyy up

 44oz Mountain Dew slushees from Speedway for only 89¢

 Walking barefoot on green grass

 Burying my toes in warm sand

 Splashing and piggy-back rides at the lake

 Ice cream and burgers at our local ice cream parlor, Mullens, on Main Street

 Late night walks on Main Street in the heat and all the traffic lights flashing

 Laying on the hill and gazing at the stars

 Catching Lightning Bugs and then watching them fly away again

 Sleeping in

 Waking up early and watching the sunrise on the front porch with a bowl of cereal and my dog

 Running through sprinklers in the backyard, fully clothed. And tossing water balloons.

 Dancing and splashing in pouring rain

 Watching lightning in candlelight, instead of watching TV

 Cut-off jeans and flip-flops

 Summerfest in Milwaukee, Riverfest in Watertown

 4th of July, fireworks, sparklers, parades and flags, cream puffs, funnel cakes, corn dogs, and cotton candy

 Farmer’s Markets with my dad

 Playing in dirt and smelling flowers

 Cook-outs with people I love; and the smells of fresh-cut grass and charcoal



Love Always and Forever,

Shy Lee Zephyr

  1. Running through sprinklers is THE BEST. Haven't been able to do it for a while - Australia is in its worst drought ever and we're on pretty tight water restrictions, so sprinklers are a massive no-no. Bum :(
